Re: Vista 64 on my laptop??

So far... so good. Vista is kind of weird in that it will install
applications into either a regular "program files" folder or one denoted
with "x86". Am assuming because of the whole 64bit deal it needs to seperate
it. But with the supposedly backwards compatible, it would seem that
wouldn't be necessary. but then what do I know. Any thoughts here?
