O.P. Vista 64 bit edition + Anti virus
I've been testing vista for while now.

Only been testing this in work. As i ain't allow to install it on my home pc. be nice thou if i cud get it free for home lol


I been testing windows vista 32bit for while.
I decided to do fresh install this time using 64bit edition of vista. as my machine is running a core 2 duo 2.66GHz processor and 2GB of memory.

I was a big bit surprised when i notice no anti virus programs worked with vista 64bit.

Symantec , McAfee , AVG and few others.

So far only vista compatible Anti Virus i have found is
Avast- Yes that includes the Free edition of avast also
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-antivirus-and-windows-vista.html

Althou symantec will give you free upgrade when they release a compatible vista anti virus.

I like what i've seen of vista so far. The copy i have i've only tested on my work pc. So i'm going to buy vista as soon as its released for my home pc.

Just such limited drivers and other stuff released for it yet. Can't wait until all manufactures and software developers make everything compatible.

I thik its gonna make one hell of an O/S. Esp since i already have a prefromance boost compared to how my PC run on XP.

keep in mind i not even using proper drivers.
