Hay, what do you expect?

I don't expect nothing. Well... it would be nice to have a good operating system
without garbage, that doesn't crash, does exactly what it is supposed to do,
performs well, doesn't have driver versioning problems...
But these days that seems to be an utopy and the remains of the "Dreams of
Before".

Jason and Mugly:

Yikes! Relax.

It's just 2 points of view due to differing experiences.

Thanks, robots.

They support Theme (to have a "XP" like look and feel), parallel printer
port for printing, it include the same firewall than XP SP2 32 bits (1069
had not firewall)

This build also support the Intel EM64T computer (Xeon Nocoma and somes
futures Pentium 4)

Another thing : when I use Windows 64 bits build 1218 (XP64 or Win2003-64)
as network client and a 32 bits XP SP2 computer as file server, I've
incredible network performance (16 megabytes/sec with two Realtek 8139D, or
using the Realtek 8139D on the 32 bits computer and the gigabit port on the
motherboard of the 64 bits computer)

And use the same serial you used with 1069



Finally have it installed, deffonetly feels more like a finished product.
But I havn't played with it enough to know what all has changed... Very nice
though.

For now, yes. It is considerably faster. A lot of that has to do with
how "raw" it is though. Once they add all there bloatware in there, it
will likely slow down some, but the early releases look promising. On
the flip side, it is already considerably faster "feeling", and that's
without good drver optimization. From that viewpoint, it also stands to
get better even as they add the "bloatware" into it. I have a good
feeling about things to come in the future. They won't catch Linux on
64-bit any time soon, but at least they are putting forth an effort to
put out a product even if it is way overdue.



That's an very interesting answer. AAMOI, do 32bit programs run OK, eg
Microsoft Office?

I ask because I've just built an A8V 3500+ system but gone for the XP Pro
32 bit, although I've got the original 64bit beta. I'm just wondering if
with the latest beta, its worth changing over. There seem to be quite a
lot of 64 bit drivers about now.

Thanks.

32bit Apps run just fine. I've been running Java, Zend (java app), trillion
and MS office 2003 on XP64 with no real problems. The only issue I have is I
can't get spellcheck to work in OE and it seems like 32bit plugins to 64bit
IE don't work well, other than that it's just fine. Pretty impressive all
things considered.

Wrong. Not all 32bit apps run. Visual Studio.NET 2003 won't even install,
refusing to install on a 64bit platform, ATI Multimedia Center doesn't even
start, Rainbow Six installer crashes and many other problems.

Well, I don't have VS.Net 2003, I have 2002. Though I havn't even tried to
install it yet. I don't doubt there would be problems though since from what
I understand Microsoft doesn't have .Net ported to 64bits yet. For the most
part most 32bit apps run just fine, as you point out there are those which
have issues. For instance games will tend to have issues as probably 90% of
WinXP 64 users will be running on Beta 64 bit drivers as I am. Keep in mind
that this is a beta, that generally requires beta drivers to make it
work....

Quake III ran well. But Visual Studio.NET 2003 should work in 32bit mode. And it
doesn't. It specifically says that it's not going to install itself on a 64bit
platform (perhaps feeling embarrassed with the power of the machine ). But MS
does have .Net ported to 64 bits, although still in beta stages. You can
download it from MS site, although I don't have the direct link here.
