This is basically an open question post about W XP 64:
Not knowing too much about application conversions between 32 bit and 64 bit, I have a lot of questions about compatibility issues concerning XP 64, such as-
1) What will it recognize and run without problems as far as software apps are concerned? -such as Sonar stuff, Pinnacle Studio stuff, Nero Stuff... and general programs designed for XP sp2?
2) How far back will XP 64 reach to be compatible with older programs?
3) How deep do security issues run?
4) I read in one PC World article about XP 64 that suggests to wait for Vista. I am sure it will be just fab when it arrives in full form, but until then it seems to make sense to go with improvements on what already works- or is my thought logic thread on this subject lacking on something?
