Default Windows 64bit trial

Anyone using the trial version of windows XP pro 64bit? A friend was talking about it today at work. Not sure if it would be worth the hassle but he mentioned that you get it free for 360days.

Thanks

Marcus

Have you had any major problems with it yet? I have had two hard drives fail since the new year so I would like enjoy my new PC before I run into any more headaches.

Not really in the 64 version all that much. I triple boot (WinXP ,XP64 and FC3 64) I wanted to see how well the Xp64 ran. Since it does not like the video card I have the other 2 OS's set to I do not go in it that much since I installed it


Seems to run fine though. never had a problem with it when I was playing with it,
