False (Starter does not come in 64-Bit)
The Vista forum is for 32 bit and 64 bit versions. There are Vista tutorials, online support, and external hardware problem solutions. They support all brands of PCs.
SAS 9.1.3 Support for Microsoft Windows VistaTM General availability of Microsoft Windows Vista has generated many requests from existing SAS customers for support of this operating system. SAS is now announcing support of Microsoft Vista for some of our 9.1.3 SP4 products. Starting in July 2007, Microsoft Windows Vista is supported with SAS 9.1.3 SP4 for an identified set of products. SAS 9.1.3 SP4 supports 3 of the 5 Windows Vista editions for 32-bit editions only. The following versions are targeted at the business market: Windows Vista Business Windows Vista Enterprise - available only to Microsoft Enterprise Agreement customers Windows Vista UltimateSAS 9.1.3 SP4 does NOT support the editions targeted at the consumer market. These editions include Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Home Basic. SAS 9.1.3 SP4 products support the three 32-bit versions of Windows Vista that are targeted at the business market. SAS 9.1.3.SP4 does not support Windows Vista 64-bit editions at this time. More information on Windows Vista 64-bit editions can be found here support.microsoft.com/kb/932795/en-us There are significant hardware requirements to run Windows Vista. The general recommendation is to deploy Windows Vista on only new personal computers, since older hardware lacks the power to take advantage of the operating system. Machines that carry the "Windows Vista Capable" label can use basic Vista features such as User Account Control and search, but not the new Aero interface. Windows Vista Premium Ready machines are capable of using all of Vista's features.Internet Explorer 7, the default Web browser for Vista, is supported. The SAS Windowing Environment, also known as Display Manager, uses IE 7 to display Output Delivery System output (ODS). ODS utilizes IE 7 Active X control in rendering HTML.At this time, IE 7 rendering is not supported for the Information Delivery Portal, Web Report Studio, SAS OLAP Viewer for Java or any SAS solutions.

Yes. All editions of Windows Vista have a 64-bit version available. There are also 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003. Windows Server 2008, and Windows XP Professional.
Yes, as long as the operating system provides 32-bit libraries. 64-bit editions of XP and Vista provide these by default. Most Linux distributions do not (since most of their programs are free and can be compiled to 64-bit anyway), but will offer the libraries in their repository.
It should say
There are different versions of Vista as well as 32-bit and 64-bit for each. To switch from 32-bit to 64-bit you would have to make sure that you have 64-bit compatible hardware and would have to purchase a 64-bit version of Vista.
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.
Every Windows Distribution is writen in binary non Open Source files. By the way, there are different versions of Windows Vista: Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows Vista 32-bit. Windows Vista 64-bit or x64 can work with 64-bit AMD Processors.
It depends on the version. 32-bit Windows supports up to 4GB of RAM, whereas 64-bit versions support 4GB + of RAM. It is the same with Windows Vista and 7.
Windows 2000 was the first version of Windows to have a 64-bit edition. Windows 2000 was released on February 17, 2000, but the 64-bit editions were not released until August 29, 2001.
