64-bit is bad in Windows

When I was trying to get Windows Vista to install a printer shared on an XP machine owned by the Tahoma School District (IT, please don’t get pissed at me for giving the machine a static IP. I could crash your network for the hell of it.) but 64-bit Windows didn’t have the drivers that makes the printer work. In the end, the machine works, you can use any machine to print to it. I’m awesome like that.

I haven’t used a true 64-bit OS, so if you can share your experiences with using other 64-bit OSes (OS X doesn’t count, it’s just some trickery to get 64-bit proccesses to talk to the 32-bit kernel.)
