Windows XP x64 Bit

Anyone tried this yet? I'm running the 90 day trial version now. Runs like a dream. Very stable and QUICK so far. I boot up in like 8 sec flat.

Everyone says there are loads of problems with drivers but I got everything working pretty simply.. LAN, ATI CC, nVidia Chipset, RealTek sound etc etc. Haven't looked for my printer yet but i think I remember seeing them avaliable somewhere.

Going to try a bit more software.. if it all works out I think I gotta buy this.. it's only $150 bucks at newegg.com

Download the trial copy: (Haven't noticed any 'limits' yet').

Great place to find drivers:

FYI you must have a 64 bit capable cpu to run this... if you don't know you don't have one

I don't know whats not to like if you can get drivers for what you need and you have a 64bit computer. It's basically windows XP pro. It's a waiste to have a 64bit cpu and not run a 64bit os.. Most 32bit programs will work for it like normal also.
