Nope

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

Can I install the XFCE 64bit to a 16gb USB thumb drive?

Gotta Read the FAQ and Documentaion pages

And......... this is not OS Bashing as I purchased 2 Lenovo Thinkpads last year which came with Windows 7..
Sorry to hear about the Windows 7.. I feel your pain.. I removed all traces of it.

Could it be worse than Vista?

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...... 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..
