My new Thinkpad X61 arrived last week and came preloaded with Vista Business x64

Thanks to the lack of optical drive I’m being forced to think before I blast it flat and start over… So wanted to ask - has anyone else bought a new system lately that arrived with an x64 OS?

This chassis only has 2Gb RAM so it was more likely for the added security features Lenovo have taken the machines up to 64-bit - doubt I’ll be fitting the max supported RAM for Vista Business @ 128GB

Thus far it’s all running quite nicely, although I’m having to work around rather a lot of issues with 32-bit apps being relocated to a ‘Program Files (x86)’ folder - any thoughts?
