then Vista would be ok, but be cautious if youre on a network that requires certain software for connectivity. The software might work, but the front end recognition software most likely wont. if youre on a network talk to the administrator about whether there setup supports vista.

Thats the big issue, nothing supports it as of yet. And as for the sucking sound, its not going to work as efficiently on a 32-bit system as it would a 64-bit. the smart thing to do would be to have a 64-bit system if you want to get the most use and best efficiency out of it
I installed it on my computer and every bit of software and every driver I need has put me back to where I was. . .except running in VISTA instead of XP.

Does XP work - of course. But just like a car, after awhile you want to get a new one.

At the very least - leech it and then try it for 30 days. If its cool - go buy the serial, if not - go back to XP.

Having said that, theres not a chance in hell we'll be seeing it on our machines at work anytime soon.[/b]

You didn't say that originally; you said that Vista running on a 32-bit system would suck. It doesn't.

it was a poor choice of words. As an example, you could put standard parts in a high performance car and it will still work. But you wont get the performance you paid for. The good thing is they have the hardware now that will allow you to get the most out of it. But not all intermediate software supports it which is why I'd recommend against getting Vista for another few months, until other companies catch up. Especially if youre on a network, like a school or work network, a private one shouldnt be too bad

In the past 64 bit systems were dodgy as shit, mainly becuase of half assed driver support, far as i know now companies have to release 32 and 64 bit versions of drivers in the one package to get certified by ms.

So no more gay driver support which is a good thing, still dunno what version im gonna buy though. ed:
