About Windows Vista 64 Bit: Historically, the 64-bit edition of Windows XP hasn't been a runaway hit. It's not really surprising in many ways:

the x64 version was a rather specialist product built off the Windows Server 2003 codebase, which traded a loss of support for a number of

features (including .NET Framework and DirectX in early releases) in return for the ability to address vast amounts of memory from a single

process.

Now powerful MelodyCan 5 in 1 Convert (http://www.melodycan.com/) release new version Works on x64 Vista/XP!
