[Manifold-l] Latest hardware & OS Recommendations?

[Simon Greener (SpatialDB Advisor)]

Colin et al,

My experience with Vista on a new laptop over the last 5 months is that it  
is awful. There is nothing in the product that justifies the loss of  
productive time it has imposed upon me.

I have a copy of Windows XP 64bit and have decided to rebuild my new  
laptop from scratch with it and wait until Vista becomes stable enough to  
warrant putting it back on.

Anyone any experience with XP 64bit?

regards
