| Do you have a 64-bit processor? Did you think you were going to get a

iPhone’s 64-bit Windows Incompatibility Investigated

,----[ Quote ]
| Is 64-bit Computing Limiting for the Casual User? For the average home user, 
| there is absolutely no need to even consider going this route at this point. 
| When you consider the fact that we remain in a holding pattern with adoption 
| and developers don't appear to be overly anxious to help out those adopters 
| who are using this platform, one has to wonder why anyone is bothering with 
| 64-bit options as this point.

iPhone not supported under 64-bit Windows XP or Vista -- oops

,----[ Quote ]
| Apple's official (read: the non-marketing document which no one reads) 
| iPhone: Minimum system requirements document does say that "64-bit editions 
| of Windows are not supported." Go ahead, try to find it in the small print,
| we'll wait...

Microsoft Vista 64 bit is no go in 2007 

,----[ Quote ]
| Without an exception, they all think it's too early and the drivers
| won't be that polished for 64 bit either. AMD and Intel have CPUs which
| can support 64 operating systems but the drivers are still lame,
| unpolished and slow compared with 32 bit.

Vista 64 VS Vista 32

,----[ Quote ]
| Vista 64 has a slight advantage over the 32 Bit version speed
| wise, unfortunately due to the stringent drivers requirements
| for the 64 Bit versions, at this point
| my recommendations are to stick with the 32 Bit version of
| Vista until most of  hardware manufacturers and software
| manufactures (including Microsoft) decide to actually take
| advantage of the 64 Bit architecture!
| Even better: get serious and do some progress in this
| industry, I am sick and tired to just see marketing
| numbers and not actually progress here.

Windows XP 64 is crap and things break and printers dont work and
quickbooks doesnt work the list goes on

,----[ Quote ]
| Morale (sic) of the story is - if you are using Microsoft products, stay
| away from the cutting edge - it sucks pretty bad.

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.

Why There is Better Driver Support in 64-bit Linux Than 64-bit Windows XP

,----[ Quote ]
| In the free world of Linux I have a working, usable, fast
| and stable 64-bit operating system. In the secret world of
| Microsoft I will have to return to using the 32-bit version.
| But the question is will I? I think I will stick with Linux.
| It looks like I need to go back on my hands and knees and beg
| forgiveness from my SUSE 10.1 system for every doubting it
| and for my unfaithful fling with Microsoft.
