We had the chance to play with the last public beta of upcoming Windows XP 64 bit operating system and were thrilled to learn that this version actually works much faster with the "network neighbourhood" feature.
Imagine our surprise to learn that you can almost instantly find computers in your lab network and almost instantly be able to list them and access any of them.
With the standard Windows XP Pro it takes at least a few seconds just to list the computers, and we are talking about computer in local network connected through same router or switch.
Drivers for other devices are ready and you won't miss much when you go to Windows XP 64 bit edition, but beware that you have to use 64 bit drivers only. This will come for free as you will be able to exchange your 32 bit copy for 64 without charge.
