Ok guys quick poll - who would suggest the usage of 32bit drivers in a 64bit OS (thinking Windows XP 64bit) if hardware manufacturer doesnt support / supply 64 bit drivers on our corporate desktops? Personally wouldnt touch it with a bargepole but a developer has forced our hand without actually looking at the support issues involved We arent touching Vista - and dont expect to do a roll out of Win 7 until mid next year at least ( or at least until SP1 is available) Is driver issue a non -issue or is it something to avoid?
Sorry but that just screams NOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD IDEA! (and above is right, 64bit HAS to have 64bit drivers no way around it)
What I was suspecting thanks guys (for the swift responces) I keep on telling them that XP64 wasnt ever fully supported but they still want to trial it As soon as we can we are going to use Win 7 (in the IT department only) but for users we cant stop deploying XP Thanks again
