:?: Have you checked our download page? All SalixOS editions come in both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures

What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.

A 64-bit Live edition is not available now. There will probably be one in the future.

No, but one gaping wound is as bad as another..
I was doing some research this month when I came across some advice given to a neophyte on a Windows admin forum..
It went something like...
Only use Windows apps that have been fully tested by Microsoft as the testing by same ensures quality...... :lol: WTF!!!
Microsoft and Ensured Quality are mutually exclusive terms..
I began with MS products in 1980 and learned programming and OS with MSDOS.
Right from the beginning I could see that MS releases software prematurely and makes the purchaser the Beta Tester.
I switched to Digital Dos.
.. Over the Years I tried to follow the crowd and kept on reinstalling to my Disappointment MS OSes. Although I always also kept a Real working OS at the same time... Digital Dos, OS/2, BSD and Linux...
... What Windows is ...is Consistent.. Consistently Disappointing and Buggy.. :)
