Vista 64 bit impressions
So, I took the plunge and installed Vista 64 on my new machine so that I could make use of all four gigs of RAM.
I had expected Vista 64 to be the OS of choice going forward, seeing as processors have been 64bit capable for quite a while now, but there is still a decent subset of applications that do not have any 64bit support.
1. Epson scanners – Sure, I rarely use my scanner, but is it THAT hard to write a driver that works in Vista 64….Hell, you made one for OSX Leopard and 32bit Vista, but not for Vista 64?
2. Cisco VPN Software – This one is a biggie. Cisco has the resources to push a 64 bit version of their VPN client out. To those that would recommend the AnyConnect software, stop right now; AnyConnect is a stripped down, barely functional excuse for a VPN client.
Beside that…I think it’s actually pretty cool, and have no real problems with it. I hope that the software developer world picks up the pace in developing 64bit Windows apps, though.
