this is gunna be such a headache.

Cuz I plan to switch to Vista x64 within a month or 3 of it's release, as I'm a programmer and it pays to be ahead, but, if this is going to be the case, I'm thinking a dual boot system with XP Pro may be a necessity rather then a convenience

All I care about is XP x64 when this piece of crap is released.
