I design and build computers and as such i would recommend waiting for this product to iron out all bugs, unless ,as previously posted , you are familiar with all aspects of your computer..64bit systems are wrought with AS YET undefined or unfixable problems, the likes of which are legion. However 32 bit systems will have a smoother ride.
Dont take my word( or anyone elses) for this, simply go to the microsoft web site for vista and look at user faq's to see for yourself.
upshot is 64 WAIT 32...maybe!

I first tried vista a year ago aprox and it was bad could not get sound to work, most of my newish software was incompatable, my hp £500 printer there were no drivers even planned ,my scanner same thing I bought a new printer a few weeks back and tried again,vista downoaded loads of updates and its great , not sure its worth it if you have a pc with xp on but its works perfectly now and I have 2 pcs on vista and set up a wireless network is a doddle
with vista , its a good thing to install updates for software too my pc was not happy till I got patches for ulead video software

Vista looks good, no dought. But once the RAM usage rises to just over 2.2 GB on Vista 32 bit applications crash and IE will not open new windows. Even the right click menus on apps show up half populated; if at all. Painful for any serious computer user.
Service pack 1 better address the memory issues otherwise I will bin this OS and stick to XP Pro 64 bit.
Let see, Service Pack 1 should be less than a month away.

When I read a so called 'review' of a product such as the person below, 'NeuroSplicer' I really do ask myself how people like this are even aloud to write a review. Read more
