Ummmm... I have a 64bit notebook... but the XP is 32 bit. M$ does have a
64bit version, BUT you must purchase it separately (there is no OEM that I
know if). However, the 64bit has been very very buggy and unstable. In
fact, if you have a 64bit PC, you can goto M$ and download their version
free. I am sure it is a demo... but anyway, from what I been reading, the
64bit isn't really ready for mainstream computers, and plus very few
manufacturers are supporting it...

It's not the manu's that keep me from using it, it's the apps... or should I
say, lack of full on 64 bit app support.
