I note that a clone has changed the thread title.

I object.

By placing "64-bit" in the title, it is implied that the caution is for "those thinking about getting the 64-bit version of Vista."

My MAIN POINT in the initial post was that ANYONE BUYING a computer with Vista installed may have difficulty telling whether they're getting the 32-bit or the 64-bit version. Vendors ARE NOT being clear about which version they are supplying.

My purpose was not to discuss 64-bit Vista. It was rather to warn ALL PERSONS BUYING COMPUTERS that they may not get what they expect.

I think the original thread title was more appropriate.
