Few points....

Please turn off the caps lock...it's considered 'shouting', aka rude.

Currently no WB ver supports Vista 64 .....you'll need to be patient.

.....and it's 'vein' for blood....'vain' is for ego .... Spell checker

How'dya think I feel. There's loads of stuff that won't work on my XP 64 machine, and Microsoft are already skipping to Vista -- so I won't be able to get xp64 versions of alot of the things that Microsoft make, I had to wait weeks for an x64 version of WMP11.

Windowblinds 5.5 is not officially released yet.  Object Desktop subscribers get the benefit of trying pre-release versions before they are made available to everyone else.

You have had to search endlessly for drivers because Vista 64 bit only allows signed drivers (makes it more stable than Vista 32bit ).

You should use 32 bit Windows XP as a second OS so anything that don't work on Vista you can still use.

PS! If you have Vista installed and try to install XP as a second OS it wont work. You need to have XP installed then install Vista over it.

Sorry, but that isn't true. Although the preferred method is to install the "older" O/S first and then Vista, it can be done the other way round. There are plenty of threads on this subject which one can read here:

Dude I was shouting, because I want these people to see that there is a need for 64 bit support, second dont be telling me about proper "neticate" and that I can not use my cap locks !!! it is only shouting if you live on net forums, so get a life. Third shouting is not rude in my world, it is an optional way to express ones feelings. You internet junkies really need to get a life.
