Seriously Josh, why?  Windows I can understand; Windows Vista less so, but I 
can see that it is all that will be available before long; but the 64 bit 
version?  I would suspect you will have some real issues with drivers for 64 
bit Vista. 64 bit Linux still is not perfect (think driver issues, plugins 
for those who like them etc) - and that has had a lot more real world testing 
than any 64 bit Microsoft OS. I have a 64 bit system - have had since they 
came out, but my own experiences with 64 bit Linux made me revert back pretty 
quickly to 32 bit. Things may be better now - it is a year or two since I 
tested Kanotix 64 bit and Kubuntu 64 bit - but I doubt it. Game libs I found 
particularly frustrating as a gamer.
