Default R U Running XP PRO 64 BETA?

I have been fighting the evaluation version of WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL 64 BIT for about 7 months now. I couldn't run "Windows Update", or SONY DIGITAL Software, or use my laser printer, DVD, or run my antivirus. Everything else worked so I just set up a double boot and ran XP PRO 32 Bit on another HD. Ok, so, I "put er all in" for broke and bought the full release version (only because I was dropped on my head as a child) I installed the new OS last night expecting to be computer-less for awhile. Well, absolutely nothing happened. Everything, drivers, Windows Update, my Sony Software, my printer etc etc... all work now. It's a ****ing miracle.
Does anyone out there have any "issues" or "problems" with the new release of "WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL x64 Edition? Because I'm pinching myself to see if I'm dreaming. This is great (so far).

I had the beta 64 up and running on my laptop (fully functional except intel proset wireless, which had no 64 bit drivers at the time)...have not tried my Win XP Pro 64 yet.

I had no issues with booting and installing it though. hmmm

I've had no problems with WinXP 64bit Pro (apart from some older 32bit apps)
