Anyone have any comments on 64 bit Vista? I'm thinking I'd like to run it on my new T61p,
I'm running it on my X61t. At first it was reasonably snappy, but in the several months I've used it it has really slowed down, despite regular maintenance/bloat removal/registry cleanups. Unlike earlier versions of Windows, when the computer is doing something intensive (like nonstop disk access) I often can't figure out what it thinks it is doing, even with the help of tools like Sysinternals' Process Explorer. A lot of software still doesn't support it, including my favorite firewall, and even MS Endnote (there is no support for importing a .pdf file into Endnote under Vista64, and according to MS there never will be). This could just be an MS/Adobe thing (Mike, you listening?); for example, I have also never been able to get the Adobe Acrobat "print to pdf" driver working correctly under V64 (it creates files that are readable by Ghostscript but not by Adobe Reader).
On the other hand, it does use both CPU cores and all the memory, it runs tablet ops very well, and when I run Linux in a Virtual Box window it runs very fast.
I can't compare it to Windows 7 because I could never get my copy of the W7 beta to install.
