	quote: Originally posted by John The 32 and 64 bit versions of xp just now are seperate distros though, so just the same. exactly! but with vista, i reckon the 32bit one will be phased out, and becore more of a workstation platform (eg nt4 vs w95/w98) but for now both will be launched at the same market then the 64bit editions will flourish what gets me though, is the rumoured amount of versions for Vista... quote: There will be two general categories of Windows Vista editions, which map closely to the two that exist today for XP ("Home," which comprises Starter, Home, and Media Center Editions, Pro, which includes Professional, Professional x64, and Tablet PC Editions). In Windows Vista, the two categories are Home and Business. In the Home category, Microsoft will create four product editions: Windows Vista Starter Edition, Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition (previously known as "Uber" Edition). In the Business category, there will are three editions: Windows Vista Small Business Edition, Windows Vista Professional Edition (previously known as Professional Standard Edition), and Windows Vista Enterprise Edition (previously known as Professional Premium Edition). In all, there are seven product editions planned for Windows Vista (or nine, if you count the N Editions as being different). Note that all of these product names are placeholders for now: They could change before the final product is released. However, this breakdown of editions is current as of this week and is unlikely to change. http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_editions.asp crikey!! that link also gives info on the 32 & 64bit flavours!

	quote: Originally posted by PaulW quote: Originally posted by Bart i would keep away from XP 64 bit. Theres very little supported drivers around at the moment. Vista will be released later this year, and will be the new OS to superseed everything (so they hope). that will support 32bit and 64 bit. and i can image there will be plenty of drivers around. again... vista might just come in 2 flavours again, and not be inter-operable! i shall be getting vista upon release for free... :look: and its fully legal copy too :lol: Vista will only be x64 and x86. do you want a copy now? :thumbs:
