Have you found 64-bit support for all the major applications? Have you run into any unforeseen problems?
Thanks.

I've had a machine running XP Pro 64 for a few years now. It's been very stable and trouble-free. I'm not sure I would see the point of migrating to it now, though, given its age; just get Windows 7. I had 7 running on the very same machine; the beta was almost as stable as XP Pro 64, and the Release Candidate ran like a completely finished product.
I built a new system and have been running an evaluation version of Windows 7 Enterprise edition on it; haven't had a single problem with it. Fry's had 7 Home Premium OEM on sale for $80 today, so I went out and picked up a copy.

I've thought of that, but I've had a WinXP 64-bit edition laying around and I've been meaning to migrate for a while now. I finally finishing backing up tons of stuff, but experiencing huge crashing problem and I'm going to reformat ASAP. I would like to try and install Win x64 just to see what x32 ---> x64 issues pop up so when Win7 SP1 comes out, I'll be ready to transition. It's a horrible way of doing things, but there's other factors too.
So the software developers have been releasing x64 versions of most major programs (Firefox, antivirus/spyware/firewall, office stuff, AV-multimedia programs...) and drivers?
I'm fed up with trying to work around this problem. Who knows, if logistics permits, I might be going Win7 pre-SP1, but til then, looks like Win x64.
Thanks Harri.

Xp64 worked great for me all the way since it was released. I only recently upgraded to Windows 7.
