1) What manufacturer forces you to do anything? You will be able to buy XP
for a long while yet, if you were so inclined.
2) How is buying a new PC with Vista less environmentally friendly than
buying a new PC with XP?
3) Source Code? Why should they give you the source code? Would Ford give
you the plans to the Focus?
4) What Death Penalty? WTF are you on about?

Why do you want/need to port 32-bit drivers to 64-bit? Vista comes in both
32 and 64-bit variants and with a bigger-than-ever library of drivers. If
the drivers you need aren't there you can approach the hardware
manufacturers. If they don't support your hardware under Vista then don't
buy it.
