Default Windows 64

Has anyone actually tried the 64 bit version of windows yet, and is it any good. I downloaded it the other day but have not yet tried it.

Iv heard that people have been having trouble getting drivers etc.

Drivers are somewhat difficult to deal with at the moment, since most OS's are running at 32 bit, developers concentrate on that market. But, with the advancement of 64 bit chips and WinXP 64 bit edition, there in an increase of support in the 64 bit world.
