Hardly. Which is why I fought so hard to get this NG. But Vista has some
significant differences, not the least of which is that the logo program
requires x64 support. And that Vista itself is really going to be pushing
folks to new hardware, much of which will be 64bit capable. With the retail
box of Vista having both DVDs in it, we'll see more and more folks in the
64bit environment. This will force the OEMs to provide 64bit support or see
their business take a big hit.

I think we will see the "driver" issue for longer than a year. We
know that there will be a long long list of unsupported hardware

Interesting Charlie, are you saying the Vista packaging will contain both
x86 and x64 disk?

There's a Spanish Vista NG but it ain't x64.

That is my understanding, yes. And I know they use the same key.
