No, its a version of xp for use with 64 bit processors.

Is that a full version or another beta?

Jerigorn, Windows has a 64bit beta release available, but it's pretty buggy and has a lot of driver issues. I wouldn't really recommend it if this is for your primary PC. Your choice though.

If you have a 64bit setup, you can give it a try. Some have had success with it, but many fight with it for days before they can use it.

[ShoobieRat]

Where? From Microsoft's website, duh.

I believe it's still free.
