Or, with an MSDN subscription.

However, there is the "Microsoft Windows XP Pro X64 Edition SP2B for System Builders", as available from Amazon for $139.99:

- which states it comes from TigerDirect.com.

(Read the small print, though. You can only do a clean install - you can't upgrade from a previous version of Windows.)

Its been a while since this post was updated, and a search for 'vista 64' only really brought up this one thread, so I figured I'd add to it.

How has the editing world been working recently with Vista 64x? Is it still not recommended?

I have been running vista for about 6-8 months now with no issues. 64x, on a AMD 1.8 Opteron (oc'd to 2.4) with 4GB of ram. I do a wack load of photoediting, with no issues. Lightroom/PS CS3.

I've used (hold the laughter) windows movie maker and it seems to work fine with the HV10/HV20. However from my previous use years and years ago in Premier, I'd like to try something with more options.

So my question is, is there any programs out there yet that work fine in Vista 64x? TIA!
