I just installed Home Premium 64bit, and am loving it-I have not had any
compatability issues or stability probs. I did have XP SP2, and this is
much better

I tossed XP PRO 32bit in the garbage back in March, and installed Vista
Ultimate 32 bit, and yes there were plenty of bugs, but as of December,
it runs so much more stable, and has less compatibility issues.
Just recently, I installed a fresh clean copy of Ultimate 64 bit, and I
swear this thing is sick man....faster, more stable, and installed all
programs flawlessly, such as, Office 2007 Ultimate, Nero 8, Roxio 10,
and some other stuff.
I will never go back to XP again-period.

If you were having problems with Vista
I'd give it another try *after* SP1 comes out

Contrary to many in this newsgroup Vista hasn't been a problem for me. I
certainly wouldn't go back to XP. A service pack is also due for release
around the first quarter of 2008 for Windows Vista so that will help iron
out many of the earlier problems encountered by some users.

I should point out that the service pack can be obtained as of now but it is
still in beta testing so I wouldn't advise you to install the service pack
until it is officially released.

it a try.

Is this going to be in windows update?If I do a clean install now and then
just get the update when it comes out that should work.I really liked vista
when I had it,but stuff kept freezing up on me.
