64-Bit Upgrade by Way of Open Source Isn't Bump-Free
,----[ Quote ]
| All of the drivers I need for my machines either come bundled with the Ubuntu
| install disk or sit waiting to be fetched and installed from Ubuntu's
| networked software repositories. Most of these drivers are maintained within
| the Linux kernel projectâan organizational structure that's helped to smooth
| the 64-bit migration path.
|
| What's more, Linux has a rather long history with the x86-64 architecture.
| The first x86-64 OS that I reviewed was SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, which
| hit the streets in the first half of 2003, some two years before Microsoft
| took up the platform.

For a real operating system, avoid the Vista family (Vista and Vista 7).

| There's one other way to address this problem, but we imagine most people
| won't want to go down that particular road: switch to Linux. Adobe recently
| released an alpha version of the 64-bit Flash player for that OS, but Windows
| users still have to wait.
