As far as I know there is pretty much no compatibility between 32-bit Vista drivers and 64-bit Vista, so it is pretty much the same for Windows 7 as that is build upon the foundation that Vista laid down.Quote:

Yukontrooper,
64bit OS requires 64bit kernel mode drivers. 32bit applications on the other hand aren't a problem.
You can set the desktop background to be a slideshow. A bit of OSX is creeping through.
Got the x64 version running fine under VirtualBox 2.1.0...Quote:

I did download the Nvidia drivers through Windows Update.
Has anybody received indexing errors from trying to install 32-bit drivers? I've had them a few times now, and I think that's where they've come from. Of course, I won't be installing 32-bit drivers anymore, but I had to ask because I want to make sure it's not my hard-drive. Error check doesn't bring up anything in HD Tune.
You've been able to do this on unix for an eternity, it's not just OSX.Quote:

Yah, I just learned that a couple days ago. First 64-bit OS for me. :DQuote:

Just a heads up mate!
OSX is really the only Unix-like OS I've used for longer than a few hours. Ubuntu doesn't want to tango :down:Quote:

I wish they would combine the flexibility of *nix shells ie zsh/bash/csh and Windows UI. I would be in heaven :D Powershell is nice but it's too clumsy and over-simplified that it becomes annoying.
I just couldn't get my video drivers installed on Ubuntu. It said there were no restricted drivers available, and if I tried to manually download and install them, it would half install and prevent me ever downloading other packages. With Windows I just run the setup, restart and it works. In Win 7 the drivers are already installed.
Yah the basic stuff is a PITA so i just say "What am i going to gain from all this anyway? Fancy desktop effects?" Vista is perfectly safe and works just great even on 1GB of RAM. What i'm really interested in is whether anyone has gotten OSX to run a PC :DQuote:
