What operating system do you use?

has anyone ran into problems with x64 and getting software to work?

 

[charliebruce]

Only very old (16-bit) apps will flat-out not run, the rest almost all work perfectly (WOW64 is very good indeed). There may be some older or badly-written apps which have slight bugs although these are very rare indeed. Some drivers are 32-bit only, but that's only for older devices and isn't a problem with any hardware I've encountered.

i have windows vista ultimate x64 but im considering upgrading to windows 7 soon, i've been just too lazy. i can't really imagine stuff being any faster i guess, have 8gb ram quadcore laptop. the main slowpoint for me is fulldisk encryption but i have 7200rpm HD, don';t think upgrading to win7 would do anything to increase my disk access speed

for server os i prefer centos

i use fedora from my 16gb flash drive (with persistent storage)

my laptop has 2 internal HD's of exact same size, so i boot from the flash drive into fedora, run the dd command, and copy one disk bit for bit to the 2nd one to back a complete backup of my system=) do this once a month or so.

Linux Mint FTW!

I'm running Isadora 9. You just can't beat the visual effects and features! I actually used Windows months ago, and I hate it now. What bugged me most was the inability to force quit ANYTHING...
