will we continue to see new drivers for new devices for x64 XP?
With the new underpinnings for the vista video subsystem, I do not see a lot of video card cross compatibility there. I don't want to be stuck without an upgrade path.
Vista x64 drivers will work just fine. I've tested Vista x64 drivers under XP x64 in the past year for everything from flatbed scanners to a Serial-to-USB converter and a ton of stuff in-between - I haven't had one situation where the Vista x64 driver didn't work for the hardware while running XP x64. Even video drivers work just fine in my testing. I can't say 100% support, obviously, all I can say is that so far nothing hasn't worked. Sounds like a double negative, but it's entirely positive, I assure you.
