XP 64-bit for the rest of us?

[Charles Tomaras]

Any idea when a 64-bit version of XP that supports all of the "consumer"
features of XP will be available? I just read over the list of unsupported
features at:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tr...prodtechnol/winxppro/reskit/prka_fea_tfiu.asp

With new 64-bit processors and motherboards being released I'd imagine a few
thrill seekers out there are going to be wanting more bang out of their home
PC boxes soon.

Ouch, I heard there were a lot of incompatibilities with XP 64 bit, but I
never knew how many!.

I hadn't realised that so much of it was left unsupported. I'd imagine that
we won't see much in the way of 64-bit 'fulfilment' until the introduction
of a 64-bit version of Longhorn now. Though it would be nice to be proved
wrong. ;o)
