    I am interested in knowing, for those who upgraded to Vista, which one did they upgrade to and was the upgrade a 32 or 64 bit version?

    I think about 95% of people upgrading (myself included) are upgrading to the 32-Bit version. There are barely any drivers and programs out at this time that will work or work well on the Vista 64-Bit OS.

    That is what I thought, but could use the confirmation from others. I also asked because of the negative Vista article posted on this site today.

    I did the 32 bit because of the lack of drivers. Right now, I have too much stuff that doesn't have 64 bit drivers.

    When are the 32 bits drivers due out and when will the 64 bit OSs be usable and stable? I am assuming the 64 bit Vistas will run 32 bit Apps correctly.
