You know that 64 bit OS can run 32 bit apps in a windows on windows (WOW) environment)
So going to 64 bit might not be as much of a pain as you think it might be. Although getting vendors and developers to play along has been the real issue so far IMHO..

Change one gp setting, break maybe one or two apps. Switch 200+ computers to 64bit, and break who knows what? I think we have a differing definition of "easier". Just for fun, have any of you folks switched an org to 64? If so, what kinds of problems did you face? -----Original Message----- From: Terry Dickson [mailto:te...@treasurer.state.ks.us] Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 10:21 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: 16 bit VDM There is an easier solution just switch all user to 64 Bit OS and problem solved. -----Original Message----- From: Glen Johnson [mailto:gjohn...@vhcc.edu] Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 7:48 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 16 bit VDM Anyone implemented the group policy mentioned in this article? If so, did you see any side effects. I don't know of any old 16 bit programs that are in use here, but I guess there could be some we aren't aware of. http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Windows-hole-discovered-after -17-years-Update-908917.html ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
