    Shame you have to invalidate your current copy of XP. PITA.

    64bit IE is a bit rubbish too las time I looked. Popular extensions like Shockwave Flash don't work.

    Well I'm still using the rc2 Beta copy. Once I get all my hardware & proggy's working in that then maybe I'll migrate. At the mo drivers are too patchy & rare for me to adopt it as my OS of choice.
