Win XP Pro X64. . . Anyone trying it out?
- Thread starter Crash5291

Haven't tried it myself, but from what I've heard from people who have;
There's nothing significantly good about it at the moment, it merely emulates a 32-bit environment in a 64-bit environment.
It's still in its BETA stages
The vast majority of applications still run in 32-bit so there's no real advantage there either
There seems to be very little to make the switch to 64-bit OS worthwhile as it stands, while so many programs aren't made specifically or even made at all for 64-bit, so while there may well be few disadvantages there are few advantages also.

It's kind of dumb that they would emulate a 32bit environment when the AMD64 processors can run 32-bit code already without emulation.
