windows 7 64-bit ready software
is there a sort of updated compendium of 64-bit software that's windows 7 ready? I'm thinking to get an np8662 and I want it to be "ready for use" with only the needed software (word processing, IMing services, browser, etc.) to be installed. As few as possible should be 32-bit emulation (ie: i want 64-bit native if possible).
Is there a kept list or any ideas? Jason

I've got this so far: Dox's 185.85 64-bit driver OpenOffice 3.1.0 Final YIM and vLC 1RC will work? As will FFX 3.5b4? (There's a site that apparently mods it to a 64-bit mode and from reviews its better.) And what about for AIM? And drivers... for sound and internet and whatnot

Everything that you posted work under W7 64bits, in native mode.
Drivers - if you have Vista 64 bits drivers, they will work as well. I did have a few instances where Vista 32 bits drivers work, with no hiccup. cheers ...

Basically any 32-bit app will work in Windows 7 x64 because of its emulation. The exceptions are if the application tries to install an unsigned driver; Windows 7 will block that.
