64bit is not supported presently, and may never be as the MS Fingerprint
reader is not seen as a device that will be used in the same scenario as
64bit Vista..

Other manufacturers may take this stance with product line ups too..

'Ok, I totally don't see this point of view! What the heck is this
'scenario'? The idea that 32bit Vista is a area that people will use a
fingerprint reader, but those who have 64bit Vista are just SOL with another
non Vista supported Microsoft branded paperweight? Please elaborate on
the what seperates a 32bit user from a 64bit end user.

I think Microsoft, bought the digitalPersona line and either don't want to
bother supporting it or don't know how to program for it. Show me one reason
why you can't compile the 32bit code to run on the 64bit OS. Release the
code or at least release notes on how to work around the BS vista driver
approval.

Typical MS mind set, "no one will use our vista ultimate 64, cause no one
has 64bit processors or is living in the 20th century" Just cause it says
'Hardware/Software/Compatibility' on the box doesn't make it true.
I have run XP64, now Vista 64 and this is always the view point. So sad.

Microsoft should have a big sticker on all its hardware
"Does not work on Windows 64, cause we dont think its important"

I do agree with that statement below, beside if no one makes any drivers for
the hardware then no one will use the x64.

But as soon as there are drivers for the hardware, in Vista x64, then more
and more people wil make the move to x64, and eventually will be able to
forget abou x32 software and hardware
