1. Comment - Microsoft claims a consumer 'shift' to 64-bit Vista, but where are the drivers?

   roj - when you say "obvious resource hogging" where are you getting your technical information to base this "supposed" fact from?
   
   What are you looking at? disk space? cpu loading? averaged cpu loading? ram usage? average ram usage?

   TarrantM - can you please be specific about the problems you had? We use Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate (all 32bit Vista) within our worldwide business - 5000+ PCs, 1000 of those are already on Vista.
   
   We use Server 2003 and we are already starting to roll out Server 2008 (which during our testing and preparations has proven to us that we can reduce the number of servers we have).
   
   We have not had a single issue with Vista - none at all. No network issues, no driver issues, no nothings.
   
   Its a pure dream to roll out compared to XP as well, Vista is so much easier to roll out to 100+ at a time, MUCH easier than XP ever was.
   
   We are doing fresh installations over XP, so its the same "old" hardware that XP ran on.
   
   Obviously, we investigated the hardware we use, obtained the latest drivers for the Vista image, etc. Yes, we did preparation work before hand.
