When they say that something is not included with, or
doesn't provide support for, does that mean that those
programs cant run period or just arent able to run in 64-
Bit mode?

Hello Chris,
Depends on what exactly youare talking about.
Somethings are not included and may still work, others will not work at all.
What items are we talking about specifically?
Thanks,

Hello,
Again what specifc problem are you talking about? There isn't a blanket
answer to this question as it's pretty broad.
Somethings will work, other will not work which is why we need specific.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

To be more specific things like Norton Internet security,
Windows Media Player, WinDVD, GTA:VC, Battlefield
Vietnam, Half-life:Counter-Strike(Steam), Call of Duty,
Unreal Tournament 2004, Kazaa Lite, etc. For the most
part PC games that were designed to run in 32-bit format.
If you can't tell already I'm upgrading to get that 30%
performance increase for Half-Life 2.

Hello Chris,
Most of those have already been discussed in this newsgroup:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/64bit/extended/trial/support.mspx
People have tried most if not all of these and have reported on them, so I
would start by posting there.
Some of these will work fine, some may need modifications to the programs,
particularly if they have driver components
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
