    "Vista 64 support soon"

    by gbedford on November 7, 2007

    Pros: Plenty of power and ease of use for a home sever

    Cons: small amount of add ons currently.

    Summary: Vista 64 support will come soon. Since each connection requires client software, the Vista 64 version is not yet ready. Keep in mind that Vista 64 support for the Zune came out two months after it shipped (works great for me now). Also, Bunny questioned storage and called it built in obsolence. Just about every IT department is struggling with data storage issues. Given that you can put in additional internal drivers, and add external storage, this platform is super flexible. Remember, hard drives have gained storage capacity but the form factor hasn't changed for years. So 5 years down the road, you'll probably be able to plug in a 2tb drive into 1 of those slots or connect it externally.

    I see the earlier post from Novemeber saying Vista 64 support is coming soon. It is April 6th and I cannot find a Vista 64 install. The CD it came with does not support Vista 64 and I cannot find an update on HP or Microsoft's website. Can anyone help?
