64bit XP pro is far more user friendly than Vista 64bit Ultimate.
Pity about being unable to install some early 32bit apps (I understand it's what is called a 16bit stub issue) so a vast collection of Alert Bookmarks is lost, as well as several other apps.
Sound did disappear after an update, but found a 64bit driver was meeded and that fixed it. Serious gripe about 64bit XP and Vista is lack of OEM drivers for some hardware, the MS ones are non existant or crippled. So my Epson printer has no custom paper size capability or ink monitoring, my Zydas USB wireless adapter has no driver, LaserWriter keeps stalling with offending command message. Otherwise I like XP64, and am not sure what issues SP3 if it becomes available would fix, other than perhaps enable some 32bit apps to install, they installed fine on my previous 32bit XP.
