Shouldn’t there be two groups? “Vista 32-bit Hardware” and “Vista 64-bit
Hardware” . . .

Greetings all,
Shouldn’t there be two groups? I mean after all, the two operating system’s
hardware-driver-requirements are not compatible.
It seems a natural to me.
Why should 32-bit system users be forced to dredge through 64-bit postings?
And vice-versa.

Just my 2¢ worth,

- Stan

Why? They are not different operating systems.

I have to agree with Colin. The only difference between the two is hardware
architecture other than that the OS is exactly the same.
