64Vista is going to have HUGE problems over at least the first year of support mate

And yet you have to pay a same price for it. In the same sense that u can buy a suposedly fully working 32 bit version.
The race will no doubt be on to make versions of software/games that will
only work with vista, and in a sense leave the user
having to upgrade in order to
move forward.
I have no doubt, that upon installing this rolled out version(s) of the OS, there will be clusters of patches being ready from the first day, and it will continue through the year.
It`s beyond doubt that the 64 bit versions, along with software made for it, will be amazingly fast, when they work - but we must be looking far down the line before we can hope for this to be a reality.
And for the 64bit version of server to be a ~little~ faster than the 32bit ? Still ? Is this not something close to a scam ? I`m sorry, but knowing chip architecture, 64bit commands/addressing should be somewhat faster than their 32 bit counterpart.
By the time the 64bit Vista becomes a really good platform to work off - I guarantee u the biggest buzz word of the time will be Windo$e 2010. Costing a further $300, and all that it promises.
We, the industry as a whole, are running around in circles. It`s too bad no1`s got the balls to say enough is enough - b4 u bring "this" out, get what u promised the other thing was going to do working as u said it would - or give u`r prospective clients a refund b4 they buy the next "this".
Where`s the rant section ?
oh, get the 32 bit version and hope that atleast somewhere down the line it`ll also deal with multiple cores very well.

Seems like it's on retail version though.
U pay for each variety or buy the DVD with both for a higher price.
