    Only for inplace upgrades I believe. If you do a clean install direct from the Vista DVD, it should let you choose.

    Apparently, yes. It just asks for the original media during the setup process.

    I'm considering 64bit for home, using XP64 for my other halfs pc and she has not had any real problems.

    Drivers are getting there, but for work it will be 32bit.

    why because im sure i read somewhere that the 16bit side of things has been removed completely from 64bit, which is fine, except none of my clients will be using it as most of their applications still have 16bit installers and it would also mean us buying new laptops..

    I've started using Vista RC2 32bit full time now that the Nvidia 8800 series drivers are out. I have to admit I really like it, it just feels like something XP should have been.

    I'll pick up Vista Business 64bit on the day of release I think. Infact, anyone know how long I could keep the RC2 release on my machine? Is it until June (so someone told me).
