Vista 64 hands down, and how is it hard to find? It's real easy...
Fine. Find me a copy of Premium x64 in Canada...
What do you think I am, made of money??? I don't have the extra green to get both!!!i would say xp x64, but its best to just do a dual boot of both and judge for yourself
I have neither. I have XP 32 bit. I'm building a new rig. I'm puzzled as to what OS to put in it...If you don't have the extra money then stick with x64. Theres really no huge reason why you need to get Vista 64 if you already have XP x64.
Ok I just put in my order for Vista 64bit... It'll probably arrive at the same time as the rest of my system.
But if M$ discontinues Vista like ME and release Windows 7 next spring, I will throw a bricked 360 through Bill Gate's bedroom window... Also, I will hurt a cute little kitten...
So what, just three more years? What...Windows 7 is 2011.
Can't I just activate via the net and be done in like 5 minutes?
Man, you need to calm down. You're getting all worked up instead of thinking about it rationally. Give people a chance to answer your questions, or look up the answers yourself if they seem that farfetched. No one in that other thread said activation can only be done by phone.Also, I read another thread in here that says Vista activation is only available by phone and takes 20 minutes? Is that true? Can't I just activate via the net and be done in like 5 minutes?
Go XP 32-bit. There's little support for 64-bit if any, so just go all the way down the road :].
And... 3 years for an OS isn't that bad.
You can download Vista x64 from Windows Marketplace
Didn't XP come out in 2001 and still lives (and will not be discontinued any time soon)? That's at least an eight year cycle... Vista has only been out for two years!!! They're abandoning it already?
I always like to have my basic apps and my latest drivers on a USB flash drive, ready to go as soon as Vista is finished installing.Anything I should know before installation?
Err? What do you mean "very active"? Is it going to go out nightly and pick up random motherboards?Use latest drivers for your HW.
Look for Vista tweak guides on net - some of them are vry usefull.
btw. Your HDD will be very active first ~2 weeks - its normal.
Those who decide to stick with a past OS are quite happy with XP x64. Those who made the switch and are using VIsta x64, are also quite happy. Use the one that fits your needs the best, because it all comes down to personal preference. No matter how many times this question is asked, it is still personal preference, and should be answered by you, the user of the computer, and no one else.

Ah yes... Nothing boosts one's self-pity like furthering Microsoft's cause to take over the world...Glad to see you chose Vista, it's what I would have done.
