Greetings all, Is this a Windows XP 64-bit group? Or is it a Vista 64-bit group? I searched "Microsoft. public" for "64-bit", and this group was found. But because it did not specifically have the word "Vista" in the name, I assume it is a Windows XP 64-bit group. Does anyone know the best group for Vista 64-bit postings? This brings up a small beef I have: Namely, if one searches on the web for "Vista software", one often sees "Vista compatible" mentioned (or some such phrasing), but rarely does one find "Vista 32-bit compatible" and "Vista 64-bit compatible", and especially "Vista 64-bit Native" listed under "system requirements". Why do vendors so frequently fail to specify which *exact* platform there software is intended to run on? And now, I visit the Microsoft news server and here I seem to run into a similar issue. Drives me nuts . . . :-) - Stan |
