With the release news of Windows XP 64bit, Microsoft is offering a free upgrade path ($12 s/h) for users who bought 64bit processors with the 32bit version of XP.

yeah, read about this too Drawback is that you're not allowed to reverse to 32-bit again. And since Win64 doesn't accept 32bit drivers at all, you might want to check this up really carefully before installing hehe...

I'll be ordering my copy soon too.

I guess the next thing on the list will be compatablity testing with KIX.... and then dare I say... KIX64.EXE.

Not a problem for me for Masken. I have an copy of XP from an older machine that was trashed that frees up a license.

LOL - yeah maybe some day may want KIX64 but think that is still a long way off, especially in the Corporate environment. But time does have a way of slipping by rather fast at times.
