Onenote Print Drivers on Vista 64 bit
Sparky46 4/9/2007 2:20:01 AM
Hi Folks. I've seen referrences that the Insert Files as Printouts is not
working on Vista 64 bit. I was wondering if any one had anymore information
and if there was an indication that this would be resolved, or if this is
even on their to-do list.
Thanks.

There is no more information. The OneNote printer driver is not
available for Vista 64 bit, and there is also no information whether
there will be any driver in the future or not.
Most users have no real reason to use the 64-bit version of Vista
instead of the 32-bit one, so I would recommend to just stick with the
32 bit. I doubt I'll personally will ever use a 64-bit version of Vista.
I'll probably wait for the Windows after Vista to switch to 64 bit.

Except for the vastly improved security and reliability you mean? At home I
have two *identical* machines, only one has to run 32 bit because it needs a
wireless usb connection, and guess which fails to shut down properly, and
locks up for periods for no reason.

I can't believe an MVP would be saying "Oh, 32bit isn't important." We have
*one* 32bit PC in our office. The rest of us are 64bit XP or Vista.


* CIO's want 64bit because its vastly more secure (Address Space Layout
Randmonizer, NX, Hardware DEP, Enforced driver signing)
* Our customers need 64bit because we blow 2Gb in a heartbeat.
* Gamers want 64bit because it breaks the 2Gb limit and runs much faster.
* Home users don't like it because of a lack of drivers.

So what does Microsoft do? NOT PROVIDE DRIVERS FOR 64Bit OneNote! Good
example guys.
