No. And I don't do Skype
And yes, 64bit works just fine for me

For Hadron Quark, as he is a "kernel hacker" of sorts it naturally does not.
I *can't* as it is such a POS in windows64, so 64bit working as it should
in linux is a fact better not too widely advertised. After all, if a
MegaCorp like MS are too incompetent to get it working correctly, then you
can't expect a bunch of unshaved unwashed hippies to get it right. Or so
