This is probably not news to a number of you who are already set up this way and work with VMWare under Windows Vista 64.
I bought a new laptop a few weeks back and decided on the recommendation of Jack Leininger at Fabtex ( a CHT customer) to buy a nice, compact 14 inch HP laptop with 4 gig of RAM and Windows 64 installed. I was going for maximum mobility here, not screen size so I asked specifically for the smaller screen size and a good, thin case.
Again on Jack's recommendation I added VMWare and installed 32 Bit Windows XP as a working O/S to use with Clarion 6.3.
That all went well and this arrangement is flawless. The Clarion installation and CHT in this environment run quickly, and efficiently. It's also a great way to multi-task with Clarion 6 and CHT Compile Manager in the mix, since you can minimize the 32 bit environment when it's busy and do some correspondence or other work back in the 64 bit environment or even in a second or third Virtual O/S set up this way.
Windows Vista 64 has proven to be painless experience compared to earlier Vista 32 encounters. If you're into multi-tasking and 32 bit O/S variants this is a great way to go.
Cheers...
