...I want my upgrade to come already!!!
So... you can update your pirated XP?
.........?
1) I'd have to have a pirated XP installed to update it
2) I bought my computer within the timeline where they're supposed to send out Vista to you for free

What is the timeline for that?

Vista runs fine on a 32-bit processor, from first-hand experience.

I haven't used it myself on 64-bit but I hear it still doesn't work right.
I haven't run into much on Vista x64 that doesn't work on Vista x86.

Not having run x64 myself, I've heard some pretty recent bad things from it. Although I can't say they are the smartest of sources (Paul Thurrot)
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

I've heard bad things about XP for x64.  I have a friend who popped Vista x64 on and whenever Nvidia gets graphics drivers out for my 8800 GTX I'll be upgrading to Vista on this one, too.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!
