I’ve been noticing a lot of people who want to bash on using Vista as a primary operating system; that it has too many bugs and too many driver problems. And also that putting the 64bit world on top of it is just asking for trouble.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been using Vista Ultimate x64 for about 4 months straight now. I am a very avid gamer with a very capable machine and a healthy handful of various peripherals, and I’ve yet to come across anything out of the ordinary that people who were using Vista x86 or XP x86/64 weren’t having problems with as well.

Actually, I take that back. I did run across one thing that did take me awhile to figure out, and that was getting a working TAP-x64 driver to use with OpenVPN. A little bit of Google searching and I managed to find a number of custom drivers some folks have built in the past.

And so ends my random thought of the morning.
