No support for the XBOX LIVE Vision camera yet, lads and lassies?

I'm tied up with "warning - code:1003" as well.

yert, for me I run Sidebar in 32-bit anyway because some Sidebar Gadgets require Flash and Flash won't work in full 64-bit. I understand your point about Microsoft needing to support 64-bit fully however its a Sidebar Gadget not a full-fledge app and it DOES work on a PC running 64-bit which is great. Me being someone who runs 64-bit on the majority of his PCs, I'm glad I can use this gadget.

theterminator, I have one of those fingerprint readers ;-) Thanks for reminding me about it.

I'd be interested in hearing more about what people think about Windows Live Video Messages.

At least this is actually supported in a 64-bit OS this time. There were many people who were completely burned by the Microsoft fingerprint reader that never worked right with their own Vista 64-bit OS. That product was even specifically branded as being 100% compatible. We returned 6 of those devices because there was no solution whatsoever to get them to work right.

I do agree with the prvious poster. Coming out and saying you have to run something in 32-bit mode is akin to saying we failed, we were rushed, we didn't plan it right. If you make a 64-bit OS, then dammit, support that OS.

Nice service, but:

You have to run the Sidebar in 32 bit mode? Microsoft again provides halfway 64 bit support. This isn't enough. It always urks me when this happens.

Like not having 64 bit drivers for its own hardware 100% of the time. Microsoft writes the OS and in that case, makes the hardware, so why can't they service their own stuff?
