Well, guess since all the uber 1337 uses linux, perhaps they can test the flash application on linux first, easier to get feedbacks perhaps

quite true. probably more x64 linux geeks needs flash compared to x64 windows

I can start using IE 8 x64 if only I have Flash, Shockwave, in 64bit, Java is already available in 64 bit.

As for FF, it would take a long time for all add ons to be in 64bit.

yeah, even addons have to be 64-bit.

The good news is that most 32-bit apps work real well in Vista 64.

Take that as a consolation, once I use 64 bit, I just felt that all apps that I use must be in 64bit, LOL

Honestly, it's not necessary for all apps to be 64-bit. Some apps need to be 64-bit to take advantage of the greater memory size, or for more accurate calculations?

You can now work with 64-bit numbers instead of just 32-bit, but how many apps really need to do that?

One question, when we want to do something on Vista Business, always something props telling us we must have admin powers bla bla bla.... now, even when using the cmd prompt, running chkdsk c: also cannot.... does windows 7 have these problems?

its the same on windows 7
you just need to run the program as administrator.

Right Click -> Run as Administrator.

if you want to run certain program as administrator all the time, Right Click -> Properties
Compatibility Tab
Privilege Level -> Check Run this program as an administrator.

You can disable UAC. But I prefer to leave it there.
