Personally I would suggest waiting a good six months before purchasing this software, Unless you want to be a guinia pig, The bleeding edge (okay,that may not apply,it is MS after all) is not a comfertable place to be.

352963 2005-05-07 00:06:00 just heard that you would have to run it naked because there is no support for virus or spyware protection. Is anyone planning to get it. plod (107)
352964 2005-05-07 00:10:00 There are 2 virus programs that run, Though I would have to look it up to find out which 2 they are, I think Avast is one of them.

I plan on get it, but I will wait 6 months.Suport in the way of software and drivers should snowball now, And I have a hankering to make use of the 64-bit capabilities of my CPU, even if in a limitied fashion.
