[Jerigorn]

Does anyone here have windows x64 edition? If you do, is it worth upgrading from xp pro? Cons? Pros?

Wait until Longhorn.

I think I may wait until longhorn, even though I was already on xp64

On XP64, I couldnt print nor install AVG and a few games didnt like it

I would like to add that some installers are still coded in 16bit. Microsoft has removed the 16Bit sub system from XP 64 so it can't run any 16bit apps. Just be aware of this when you go to download or install older software. Also I am not sure of the driver support in XP 64 so I would as some said above wait for longhorn.
