So far as i know, not many games are develop for 64bit OS yet.......
So 32bit OS is still much for suitable for gaming currently :)

As for Vista being unstable......never encounter to me even with the three difference edition i use since the jump from XP two years ago and Vista Home Edition 64bit really works well, smooth and fast. Guess I expect too much out of Window 7 :(

BTW for those who do window upgrade from Vista to 7, do remember to do disk cleanup on system files once everything is in order :)
Plenty of temp "upgrade file" hanging around.
now 32bit programmes can also run on 64bit. as per what montoyasg said. im running games on my win7 x64 and its working pretty fine.

my bootup and shutdown is actually faster than xp.... impressed haha

I just say not many games are develop for 64bit, i never mention it can't run. In-fact many softwares are still 32bit base.
64bit OS have secondary platform to runs 32bit programs........tat's y there's two programs folders in window with 32bit ladel as x86 and this was already done during Window Vista.

BTW my friends also commented on Window 7 slow boot/shut down compare to Vista SP1. However that's the only negative point i felt so far with other areas being improved. Maybe it's just me but Vista had never been a problem in anyway other then security issues and using "friendly" software.

perhaps the increase speed of bootup shutdown is more so on lowerend systems than high end ones?

in anycase, windows 7 has been pretty good. also i havent had a BSOD ever since i installed win7.

Question mark remains on why Window 7 lose out in greatly boot/shut down process compare to the many regarded as super slow Vista with mine taking as much as double the time.
I have tried window 7 Home Edition on many systems with both 32bit/64bit tested. Only one of my friends comments improvement right from bootup, he's using SSD for his OS. Hopefully this problem would be address with service pack as that was what make Vista works nicely and make Window 7 a reason to stay with Microsoft OS.

i have 2 different systems running win7, spec wise both are on opposite ends of the spectrum, but both boots up and shuts down just as fast/faster than my previous fresh install of windows XP on my high end pc. not sure why your system bootup shutdown is slow : /

i have my notebook running Win7 x64 with the pentium dual core 2ghz with 4GB (low end :( ) & it boots up into desktop ready for use in less than a minute. shutdowns are also as fast as bootup.

probably you can check whether if the OS is trying to unload some background app which is taking up alot of memory which could slow down the shutdown time.

Last night did some search online and realize CS4 will install both 32 and 64 bits in Windows 7 64 bits! This is because some plugins do not have 64 bits.

SSD is still very expensive. Wait its price drop at least half of now, maybe can buy 1 small size for OS.
