I think it more of my familiarity with WindowsXP. The only thing I can think of would be games, but I don't even really have time for those right now. My Dragon Naturally Speaking isn't supported in 64-bit, so that is important. I liked having a stripped down version of XP being snappy and responsive. I'm not saying Vista is terrible or anything, I just haven't found myself really pushing the 64-bit button, outside of installing 4gb of ram with a 640mb video card.
Maybe I just got a kick out of spending hours on tweaking my xp installation, and I just miss that lol. So, basically Vista has worked fine for me right out of the box, and I'm mad haha j/k. I did like having all of my DVD-backup stuff integrated right into the installation image, but some of those programs as well aren't able to work as intended.
