I upgraded from Pro (32) thinking I'd basically get XP but with a few broken apps (nothing I run). Turns out ActiveSync won't run in x64 despite M$ saying it does and HP won't write drivers for my LaserJet 1012 which is funny given the hpijs driver I thought was supported(sorta) by HP (a couple of HP techs work on the prject I thought). This means I have to use a Generic LaserJet driver that doesn't give me the feature set I expect from my printer.. On the flip side, with the fresh install, VMware is actually quite snappy. I can now compile X in VMware, listen to a mp3 stream in winamp, and play The Sims 2 all at once without lag. Of course 2GB of RAM will do that to ya. :) -Drew -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
