Thought the title on the links says "Windows 7" it does work with Vista (34 bit works best)

Wow that's really helpful. Vista is actually good at something.

I think its pretty good. Not going to replace the Control Panel for me, but I'll still have it.

I think I might die. Windows actually created something with the user in mind:eek:

I really want to get this but since I'm using 64-bit, it might cause problems and that's a big no-no.

64-bit Vista sucks anyway. I have it on my PC right now and I get nothing but errors. I might either go to 32-bit Vista or save enough for 7.

32 bit.
Thank you, I was about to pull my hair out.

It works fine in 64-bit bro. Me, and the rest of the network administrators at tech use it all the time. (All the computers at tech are x64)


Anywho, it's sad that it finally got out to the general public. I liked it when just a few of us knew. Made it seem like we were more awesome than we really are. ;)

64 bit Vista did not suck. If you download the programs /actually/ designed for a x64 architecture, not the x86 architecture, it works beautifully. Also, if you don't have a bunch of crap installed on it, works good. And a beast of an anti-virus suite is still necessary.
The only cause for issues and errors in a Windows operating system, is User error, and User stupidity.

Vista sucked in general, I have Win 7 64-bit Ultimate. Would it work with that?

Yes, as I said in my previous post, me and the other network administrators at my tech school use it all the time on our x64 machines (Running Windows 7).

It's not an easter egg or anything of the sort, it's in the windows registry, just known as "All Tasks"
