Has anyone been using the 64 bit version of windows xp? Are there any caveats to be aware of? What about programs like Office XP, or games; do they suffer compatibility issues? I'd like to hear some first-hand expereicnes if anyone has any.

I have a license I don't use... I think Flash wasn't supported at the time I used it, and there were other issues like that which made it less appealing than regular XP.
heh, if adobe doesn't work, and the machine I'm putting it on needs that, that kinda seals the deal. has anyone tried out vista yet to see if it's 64 bit?

I use X64... Wish I didn't. Too many problems with 3rd party support. Hell, even MS doesn't support it.
When we were at CES this year I spoke with AMD, and basicaly AMD pressured MS to come out with X64. Becasue MS really didn't want to... they didn't put any real effort into it's support and pushing 3rd parties to support it.
