Thanks very much for sharing your experiences. That's very helpful for those of us yet to make the switch.

Given how many of us like to switch hardware around often, I'm a bit concerned about the reports coming up about reactivation required for even the most minor of system changes, like ram upgrades.

Me, I'm giving a lot of thought to vista64 for the upcoming system refresh, but dang if xp32 doesn't' work just fine.

Is it too much to simply want a stable, hassle-free platform?

Cheers!
