    Well I installed this yesterday and it hasn't turned out to be the superfast wonderland I expected.

    Explorer seems slower (there's a 64-bit version), there are next to no drivers available so half the software and hardware doesn't work and the only wireless driver available has proved awful, constantly losing signal for no apparent reason.

    Anyone else tried it and found it good or managed to iron out the kinks? I'm seriously considering burning my HD to a DVD or two and using the recovery disks to go back to regular XP.....

    <edit>Bah, still only the evaluation. Is it out via MSDN syke, or is it the pre-release you have installed?</edit>

    I've been trying to find 64 bit RAID drivers for an nForce 4 board but none seem to work :(

    I've tried this, same problem, no drivers for my sound card.

    Because it can't use 32-bit drivers this causes problems for programs too, especially anti-virus software. You'll need 64-bit versions of those apps. DOS/16-bit Windows software doesn't work, but this is probably nothing for most users now.

    Great concept but its ahead of its time.
