Yes, considering that modification of the cygwin shortcut is no longer 
required for the released OS, the problem with Vista was an unpleasant 
surprise.  I'm finding that certain applications require unannounced 
patches to run on the released X64 OS.  Others run fine on Vista if you 
can figure out how to set them up.  Meanwhile, major retailers act like 
it's a secret their machines run 64-bit OS, offering no options but 
32-bit XP home and Pro.
