Customer Reviews

Works fine for me....
I really can't imagine what the other reviewer was doing to have so many problems. This O/S is rock solid for me.
There are some driver issues that should be investigated before proceeding, as not absolutely everything is supported.
I am currently running 3 64bit O/S machines, one with Vista64 and one with Server 2003 64bit. The third,XP64 is quicker that Vista for the applications I use it for, and simpler to use than Server2003 for everything else.
I can only imagine the other reviewer had an incompatible machine, or perhaps didn't take the time to do the correct driver installs and updates.

More flakes than a snow storm
Where to begin... basically don't. The only thing more flakey was the XP64 I bought a few weeks earlier. With only the OS loaded I got blue screens galore. Updates didn't and Windows live this that and the other fell over but then were impossible to remove. I expected it to be better than XP64 which was a nightmare but frankly the improvement was marginal. I am sure you get the picture by now. If you want a 64 bit OS then this is not it.

xpp - great product
excellent product.
does exactly what it says on the tin.
lets hope MS allow it to remain available for a wee while longer, although its very unlikely/already ruled out.
