What is Windows XP 64 bit good for?

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 :(

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.

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.

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.

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
