Joe Wilcox wrote on Microsoft-Watch.com yesterday about something quite important for those of you who are planning to upgrade from XP to Vista 64bit.
According to him, Microsoft has acknowledged that there is in fact a problem: "The 64-bit Windows Vista install is actually a 64-bit install executable. Therefore, you must be running a 64-bit operating system."
So, if you are running a 32bit XP system - maybe the only way for you to install 64bit version of Vista from an upgrade DVD is to follow that Workaround I talked about some days ago, especially installing Vista twice - first as a 30 day trial, and then again as an upgrade using your real product key. To refresh your memory - check this article.
So, there yo have it ...
On the other note, I am working on an article which I will publish some time soon about a first real-life experience of running vista after a month. Pros, cons, etc. I do have couple of things I really do not like which make those posts about unfinished product true - but on the other hand you'll see that Microsoft balances out these cons with some nice new things I really like.
