hmmm..barneyt mentioned (post # 1317) that he downloaded the 64-bit version, and it worked with the key he got with the 32-bit edition. Wonder what that link is...

Probably a torrent .... honestly, I don't think I'm going 64-bit anyway. After contemplating the move, there just isn't enough driver and software support for it yet.

But yeah, probably a torrent.

No torrent... beta tester. I did not use a torrent to download Vista. Then applied the key for the 32-bit Vista from my PowerTogether copy to the 64-bit Vista I downloaded, and it worked just fine. However, I am not sure that there is a public link to 64-bit editions yet...........

Driver support is really up to how many obscure third party accessories you have, like if you have a cell phone you wanna synch or some non-major mp3 player (eg not an ipod or zune)... and even then. Vista x64 installed everything, including my Canon printer, my Philips mp3 player and HP Photosmart camera, right out of the box, with the exception of my ac97 onboard sound. I had to download sound drivers and update my video card drivers to official ones from nVidia and that was all I had to worry about. The amount of 64-bit drivers that come on the DVD is phenomenal. I laugh every time somebody uses that as an excuse.

Their seems to be some confusion around Channel 9 forums as to the download link given in the mailer vs the trial link given at Office web site. The URL in the mailer gives you the link to a single 388MB download, but if you just went to download the trial, you would be sent to two seperate links. One is the same as the mailer, @ 388MB. And the second is around 345MB. People should also download the second link as well. I believe it adds extra features to Office Pro 2007. Could have been a glitch on Microsoft's part.

Yeah? Well it's nice to know that all your drivers were included on the cd, but as for my hardware, it isn't all supported yet. And I'm sure that is the case for a lot of others. So it isn't an "excuse." It's the reason I didn't install 64-bit Vista. Oh, and the fact that any type of benefit from 64-bit Vista is non-existant at this point. In a few years it will be worthwhile, but it sure isn't now.

From what I can tell, all the drivers that are on the 32-bit version are also on the 64-bit version. I also have seen very, very few companies that are developing Vista drivers not put out a x64 version as well. For the most part they're either supporting Vista, or they're not. The driver system has been changed, so very few XP drivers will work. You may as well use that as an excuse not to install Vista at all, because I doubt whether you're running the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version is terribly relevant.

Just out of curiosity, what hardware can you not get drivers for?
