February 14, 200718 yr i work in retail and work at a tech bench so i've been playing around with vista alot, i personally like it , if you computer can handle it The big thing is if you want to put on a empty HD with no upgrade CD you can still buy upgrade and when the installation see's you have no previous version it will put on a 30day trial. From there you can Put the disc back and REINSTALL the upgrade and the trial will count as a previous installtion and WALAA! you have fully installed windows vista and saved money The funny thing is...microsoft sent this information to us lol...
February 25, 200718 yr I just got a laptop from Dell with Vista Home Premium. I'm excited to see how it all runs...

March 3, 200718 yr Right now I would say 32 bit, I've had nearly no problems what so ever. 64 bit has driver issues among some other problems, I'm sure it will eventually be fixed, but 32 bit is the way to go now.

March 3, 200718 yr So of I get the 32 bit now, how much will it cost me for the 64 bit later? Do I have to buy new or is there a 64 bit upgrade?

March 4, 200718 yr you install whichever one you have processor for....is your CPU 32bit or 64bit? if you upgrade to a 64 bit chip later, the OS will prompt you to insert the 64 bit DVD for the upgrade. cheers!
March 5, 200718 yr 64 bit is just not happening. You'll see more multi threaded applications developed faster for Dual/Quad core CPU's than you will software for 64bit applications in the next few years. Dont worry about it.
March 6, 200718 yr I bought vista the other day, have yet to install it. Waiting to get home to put all the parts I bought on newegg together and hopefully make a computer with vista on it.
