Show me the hardware on which XP64 performs slower than W7. There still isn't any.
Plus, do you mean to say the W7 GUI is preferred over the XP one? Sorry, there are still many who disagree with that. Which is why XP x64 is still in play and kept up to date.

I'm forced to use and admin Win7 for work-related matters, and I assure you:
I still get stuff done MUCH faster in XP x64. If anything, Win7 is made for non computer savvy users, not for us experts.

Your opinion on not supporting xp64 is the wrong one here, let's have that down for once and for all;

XP x64 should be supported. It's easy, considering the few official drivers that are being maintained for it.

Still very weird no driverpacks for XP x64 Edition exist out there. Annoying, to say the least.
Luckily, not so regarding update-packs;  http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6400

People using 32 bit XP on hardware supporting 64 bit are idiots.

It's not a list of "warez", it's a list of OS install images. Any and all persons using driverpacks do not create "warez" when they integrate those packs in installers. Also, warez is something entirely different. Look up its meaning.

Try http://www.google.nl/search?hl=en&q … edition%22 for example. I get 2,990,000 results.

Pathetic. I wasn't even linking to "warez", I was pointing out a tendency ANYONE with an internet connection can see using Google or any other meta ptp search engine.
Bunch of hypocrites. As if you are remotely "legal" with the inclusion of drivers in packs. Give us a break and grow up!

XP x64 isn't a "program", and drivers AREN'T scarce at all!
Stop making up gossip stories like that. Server 2003 x64 is widely used and uses the exact same base as XP64 does. At least 99 of 100 hardware vendors fully support it, that's why I started posting here. It's really weird that nobody is prepared to create driver-packs for XP x64 Edition. And yes, I'm tempted to create them myself.

Again, it seems you can't read, so I'll post them again:

It's no coincidence that these guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1GBPreUPXk&fmt=18 do all their testing on custom XP x64 installations. I do honest testing with many qualified users. You are the sheep behind Microsoft's push-market. Which by the way belongs to the dark-ages, seeing as it has destroyed your economy. Stop thinking you need to 'grow' or 'upgrade' when things are working just fine for most users out there. XP64 ain't broken, there is no need whatsoever to regard it as such.

Where does that nonsense about "making up fake statistics" come from, show me where they have been made up. They haven't. Accusing people of things they haven't done is really dumb.
Forcing people to upgrade (their hardware and operating systems) for no apparent reason is really dumb too, by the way.

Meow, your just going to have to accept at some point that XP is going away

You have no idea what you're writing about. It's not going away anytime soon; http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=3198 As long as microsoft releases updates for 2003 SP2 x64, any XP x64 user will be able to apply them. Even better:
http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=8599 <- There isn't even an end date set for XP x64 yet!

There is no need to upgrade AT ALL. XP x64 will be running JUST FINE for years on end, and I see no reason to stop using it if it's THE BEST O.S. on the market right now.

Your claim in favor of "upgrading" to bloated slow untested and generally dumb new operating systems is really sad and unfounded. XP x64 is by far the most effective OS at this time, for Quad Core and Dual Core processors and DDR3. This has been proven time and again, and is a known fact for Microsoft as well.

By the way, it's "you're" not "your". Maybe learn some grammar and spelling first, then think about having an opinion on the lifespan of operating systems.

Well duh! Because you offer no driverpacks for it. They don't get here using Google. They go here instead, and with a lot of success:

Everyone I know, and I do mean everyone in my personal surroundings (scientists and video/audio editors/creators and developers/coders mostly) STILL prefers XP x64. Which is supported by the forums mentioned above.

Not to mention: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/micros … ,6895.html and http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1 … amp;page=7

If you still think Vista will 'conquer' those users, you're DEAD wrong. They will not switch, trust me.

Luckily most hardware vendors support XP64 nowadays.
Only problem is: YOU don't!

I found that 99.9% of hardware vendors offer Windows XP 64 bit drivers now. Don't worry too much. Even DirectX 10 works these days: http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=88406#88406

Good luck!

One more vote in favor of Windows XP x64 Edition !

This OS is a blast! From the looks of it, support for it is growing too. All my hardware has XP64 drivers included separately, even separate from the Vista x64 which used to not always be the case before.

So, are there XP 64bit driverpacks? I'm busy creating a type of Expert No-nonsense Windows XP64 iso, purely based on speed and usefulness.
