64bitsucks

Guest
I've had Windows XP 64 for a little over a year and I still can't figure out
why the hell I bought it because that thing is useless. I only foud two
lousy drivers out of about 27 that I need, many 32 bit software won't work
with it, 32 bit utilities won't work with it so you bet I am pissed.
Likewise, I had to look for 64 bit codecs in places I never heard of. I
can't figure out how you chipheads fead each other in this newsgroup with no
content whatsoever. That is beyond me :(
 
Re: What is Windows XP 64 bit good for?

If it took you a year to figure out that it wasn't appropriate for your
needs, you are beyond help. Most of us consider it a solid stable efficient
OS for those who do their research before buying it. After all, it does
come with a 90 day trial version.

Re: What is Windows XP 64 bit good for?

It is a very stable OS and I have had no problems with drivers or software.
Perhaps if you shared with us what devices are not working or what software
is incompatible we can help you.

Re: What is Windows XP 64 bit good for?

Thanks for thinking of me, Charlie. I missed it also.

btw, do you read Dilbert? This weeks strips are about virtualization, if
you can believe that.

It's people like me showing my age and laughing at you young pups that
haven't been around long enough to recognize <g> and <G> and <rofl> and etc.
Back before there were smileys and emoticons, we delimited attitudal
