yer vistas pretty bad for that it also wont install on all computers (64bit)
coz of some bugs it has still.
bata 2 installs on my PC but RC1 wont go past the s/n screen might have a
look around tonight to see if i can get it going. ()buntu should work fine
on 64bit like it was said before some 32bit programs haven't been ported to
64bit yet but you can normally find someone who has ported it and thay would
probly give you there source code for it. it shouldn't be that hardto port
programs, the amd 64 bits are 32bit capable unless that's only for m$
kernels to use which seems unlikely because its a bloody CPU not a modem
kind regards
