Hi jake, There used to be a link for the trial available from here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/default.mspx It appears that the trial is no longer available though.  SignatureJane, not plain ;) 64 bit enabled :-) Batteries not included. Braincell on vacation ;-) MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Jane, Seems like the only available option now is from bit torrents. That would be a last resource and a "use at your own risk" option.

I wouldn't suggest it. Who knows what you'd get with it. OTOH, you can always use Vista 64 in trial mode initially. And it's still possible to buy XP x64. If you do your research on drivers, you'll have a pretty good idea of what will and won't work. Also, anyone who has access to MSDN or TechNet images can test XP x64.

XP x64 is a darned fast OS but driver availability for future hardware is going to be an issue. :) > I wouldn't suggest it.

I miss XP x64 - I was a very early adopter, after all. <G> But I've moved to Vista, kicking and screaming. And hoping they change some behaviours for the better in the next version.

Not to object with this particular issue, but do not forget to remember that 'Torrents' are probably the best Idea ever implemented in software. In terms of cost-effective distribution, there can be nothing to measure up, and much honest and decent work is to be had only via Torrents. When you subscribe to an Internet account, it should come with the immortal words of Dante - "All who enter here, release all hope!" and the same goes for the 'first timer' that subscribes to this here group!!! You just never can tell until the time when you can! The fact that torrents are so valuable also makes it the ideal distribution channel for suspicious stuff, but this is nothing extra-ordinary. This is just mirroring how Interent is set up to work! Tony. . . There are both "good" and "bad" bit-torrents. I wonder which of these are "legal" xp x64's http://torrent-finder.com/ search for "Windows XP x64 Pro" Wasn't MSFT distributing (or going to) distribute software via Torrents? Is the red wine Malbec taking a toll on my memory? :) Carlos The link 'links' to at least 30 distributions - a lot of those I would regard as 'suspicious'. You have to try them out to really form a good idea. I don't know, it just seem that MS has a way of automatically putting 'Torrents' on the blacklist. That's allright too, but that means everything is going to be on that list, as I see it. There is one OEM edition that could turn out to be O.K. - I wouldn't hesitate to try it if I didn't have one installed as it is. That MS would put any edition on the Torrents, I would regard as unlikely. But you may be right - I just haven't heard that. I will certainly keep my eyes open now! And - thanks, for that link! Most any link is allways welcome!!!

I too was a very early XP x64, but I bought a new Vista x64 system, reinstalled Windows Server 2008 on it and re-configured it as a workstation, and I have never looked back. It is awesome and IMHO so much better/faster/more reliable than XP x64 or Vista! |
