Support for Microsoft Windows XP x64 Not Worth Anything
,----[ Quote ]
| Almost no one is supporting Microsoft Windows XP x64, the 64-bit
| version of Windows XP.
|
| There are no Antivirus programs that work with x64 and most
| applications won't work with x64 (unless they run the crippled
| 32-bit equivalent).
|
| Programs won't install printer drivers because, apparently, no one
| can figure out how to write a 64-bit printer driver.
|
| If Windows XP x64 has this much trouble with basic elements such
| as printer drivers, how can anyone expect the much maligned Windows
| Vista to be of any value?
|
| Frankly, my high opinion of Microsoft is quickly fading away, and
| my shop used to be a staunch Microsoft shop.
|
| Open Source alternatives are looking better and better every
| day.

IIRC, there will be some 64-bit options for Flash 9, but there's no schedule
or a clear plan. IOW, drop proprietary software however, wherever and
whenever possible. You cannot convert the cheese (blob) into cream, but
given milk (source code), everything can be produced.
