    Good fucking luck installing it on Vista 64 I've had nothing but bullshit for 2 days trying to get it on. Windows Update broke itself and I'm sitting here wondering what the fuck because I'm getting error messages that Microsoft doesn't seem to believe exist.

      I am an early adopter but have not gone 64.

      Too many hassles, and too few programs/drivers for older peripherals.

      Sorry you are having a problem, I remember Office 2000 killing everything so installed it on a machine I don't care about, then moved in order of importance through my other machines.

          I'm running 32bit because Solidworks doesn't work on 64bit vista.

            Thanks for the heads-up. I wasn't aware this had come out yet.

              Vista SP3 is rumored to be Windows XP.

                I'm not due for a 'puter replacement for a while. Next machine will have Windows 7. Been running with XP Pro for years with zero regrets.

                        Vista is the new WinME.

                              Running 7RC on a machine I don't care about. I'll buy it once it is released.
