There are pros and cons to every operating system out there. Some of the drawbacks to the Windows Vista 64 bit system are below. The 64-bit system does NOT support 16-bit applications and components or 32-bit drivers; some software and/or hardware devices may not work with it. If the system detects a buffer overflow condition, it will stop legitimate applications and processes. There is little to no driver support in Windows Vista 64-bit. Kernel-mode drivers are not installed unless they have digital signatures, and there is no automatic registry and system file redirection.
