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.
