Hopefully there are not as many gotchas.
As for V64 improvements versus XP32.
Memory usage is the big plus. You can load your machines up with ram and guarantee that each legacy 32 bit application can see up to 4GB EACH. This means a lot to each application and has a summed advantage in multitasking. The operating system is also protected in its memory use which far better than the 3GB switch Avid recommends to squeeze out more RAM for Composer at the expense of wiggle room for the OS. So you get more stability and fewer crashes.
If you turn off a lot of Vista's extra junk things seem to move faster, including the performance of windows networking via ethernet. If you have an XP box and V64 box around do some volume to volume network copies and compare the results. YIKES.
I'm not a big Vista fan, there are some items which really irk me BUT it is better than XP if you have the horsepower to run it.
Wouldn't make the move now if you haven't yet. Win 7 promises to be a better experience.
