Rant: Stop Smoking! Give your lungs a break. Rant off

Since the world seems to be creeping to a 64 bit computing world, we definitely need more 64 bit compatible tools to work with. But the more they develop in 64 bit, the more the "developers" will need 64 bit tools to fix all their screw-ups. That's usually how it starts and works it way down to the rest of us.

I have no experience with a 64 bit environment, nor the hardware to run it. I am still using a P4 HT ~2.8GHz. If we take into account Moore's law then we should see Core Octo by the end of 2010 if not 128 bit (yeah right )I'll upgrade then lol. In the mean time I'll stick with my XP SP3 for OS of choice. I beta tested Vista RC1 & RC2 I wasn't impressed, a little annoyed with the constant administrator confirmations actually. Unless Win7 is something amazing I don't see me upgrading permanently.

Same here. I still have a P4 lol. When I decided to upgrade to Vista, thinking it would have been better because I was thinking Vista would be a hell of a better upgrade from XP.

It turned out to be a friggin nightmare. Incompatability issues, some software's just refusing to run, UAC going nuts. All in all it was a waste of money and time. In the end I decided to downgrade back to XP.

And what a relief! I am still on XP SP3 and I dont plan to upgrade until I've checked out Win7 and its features including compatability .

So far the environment seems very nice.

It stable so far, I have had zero crashes.

Of my RCE tools, few run though.

Ollydbg runs, but is touchy.

I've had to Dualboot XP/7 to get anything RCE done...
