It's nice to know they're bringing out new stuff WITHOUT support for win XP x64 edition!

It won't even let me download! ;) Even tho 64 bit windows can emulate 32 bit programs anyway, grrrr.

[Guest Crispy]

Definitely very neat ;)

[Guest mini_man]

Do you think that they will now release WMP 11 for Smartphone when its officially out?

[Guest Monolithix (MVP)]

Only bundled with another update - so i wouldn't get your hopes up...

[Guest Confucious]

Only installs on 32bit XP so I can't insall on my server ;)

So it wont run on x64 pc's

[Guest Confucious]

it will run on 64bit PCs provided they are running Windows XP Home or proffesional.

It won't run on any other OS eg XP64, SBS, Server 2003 etc.

Ah ryt...phew thought it wouldnt work for a second there....

About to sound daft but this xp64 thingy is it avaiable now or is it another name for Vista etc because i haven't seen anything on it!

[Guest Confucious]

It is available now - if you go to Microsoft.com windows home it is listed as Professional x64 edition.

Unless you need it I wouldn't bother though - all device drivers need writing for it and to many don't exist to make it viable for your average user IMHO
