[DUG] to Vista 64bit or not?

[Sean Cross]

Windows 7 is out, I'm downloading it now.  If your computer supports 64, then install vista 64.  There is no good reason to be using Vista 32.  I have been using Vista 64 for over a year, and Win 7 64 since beta.  Neither has had a 64 related problem and I get the use of all my memory.

Hi Guys.
I am building my new machine today...YAY....and sinces I am getting a pretty res. machine (quad core with 4 gig) which is replacing my VERY faithful, but increasingly unreliable Pent 4 3GB, I am trying to decide wether or not to install Vista 64bit since I have a copy of it.
The only reason I was thinking of it was that I can utilise the memory so I can use Virtual machines etc.
I was thinking of Windows 7, but since its still pretty much beta, I dont want to have to reinstall everthing again when it comes out.

Anyone got any ideas? Should I infact get say fedora 64bit (if there is one) and install VMware etc?

Jeremy
