| Time: 00:05 EST/05:05 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
Chris has posted his preview of Microsoft Windows XP Professional 64-bit Edition RC 2. Here is an excerpt: It’s quite apparent that Microsoft has put massive efforts into its 64-bit computing platform. The newly renamed Windows XP Professional x64 Edition has made significant strides in terms of usability, features and all around security and stability with the release of RC2 earlier in February. |

fast_math: You say that everyday....
Do you keep switching back to Windows, or what? Maybe you should keep your copy. |

| The 64 bit OS itself works as expected with a slighly faster boot up even when installed on a Seagate ATA-100, compared to booting 32-bit XP Pro on a Seagate SATA-150 drive. However, I can't find x64 drivers for my HP scanjet 3670 and HP business inkjet 1100. So goes prerelease testing. I'll boot to 32-bit XP Pro until the x64 drivers I need are available and then try it again. Avast! antivirus appears to work well with Windows XP x64. Thanks for the tip Chris. |

I can honestly say there have been more free time opportunities : )
Yes, life is easier when you're free from the burden of all those PC applications no longer available to you. :P I would switch to a Mac, except that I enjoy not having the massive inferiority complex that seems to afflict so many of its users. That, and the turtlenecks. :) |

"I've just reinstalled linux.
You can have my copy of windows. " Please email me and I will give you my address to ship your copy of Windows to. If you still have the box, that would be great. I will even pay for shipping. brian@activewin.com |
