    I was just wondering if any of you guys have used it?
    I *finally* got my amd 64 system built yesterday (ill post a few pics when i get my hands on a digital camera, thanks to everyone who answered my inane questions over the last few weeks lol) and got my hands on a copy of the XP 64 bit beta, just wondering if its worthwhile installing it instead of pro? Anyone had any dealings with it, good or bad?

    From what i've heard at the moment is that it's bad. Most people went back to pro straight away.

    It still hasn't got full driver support, i.e sound , anti-virus and its not fully compatable with 32bit aps running in 64bit.

    To reiterate what other have said, it is very much still in beta, Mandrake linux 64 and your 32bit windows of choice would be the way to go. UT2k4 is great under 64 bit linux.
