Didn't the Brits hear about what happened to the USS Yorktown when they tried Windows as a naval solution. God save the Queen, please.

Yeah, I tried installing 128-bit Linux with a setup consisting of 2 AMD64's, but all I got was a 65-bit OS.
On the serious side, I've been running 64-bit Linux without any problems. The transition from 32-bit Linux to 64-bit Linux was transparent. I can't say the same for the transition from 32-bit Vista to 64-bit Vista though, mostly due to video codec problems.

Open Office Plans To Party Like It's Version 3.0 396
penguin_dance writes "The Register reports that 'OpenOffice.org is throwing a launch party in Paris on 13 October' to celebrate eight years, and hopefully announce the release of version 3.0. Some notes: [OpenOffice.org 3.0] will support the OpenDocument Format 1.2 standard, and be able to open files created by MS Office 2007 and Office 2008 for Mac OS X." As maj_id10t notes, though the OO.o site does not yet carry an announcement, "Lifehacker has posted an entry stating the final release of OpenOffice 3.0 is available for download via their distribution mirrors."
