Default 64 bit OS from Microsoft
Is anybody running the new 64 bit os from Microsoft? I can't find any reviews on it other than at microsoft. What would be the best way for me to install the 64 bit OS? formatt hard drive first? I am running XP Home w/ SP2 now.

I wouldn't really suggest using it as it is still in beta.

Run it as a dual boot with WinXP 32-bit (the normal flavor). That way you can be a part of the beta development stage and still have a normal install of WinXP in case things don't work out for you. Just make sure you do some searching for the necessary drivers you'll need for the 64-bit OS.
