XP64x-cant install any admin pack or exch mngmnt tool?!?!

[Ceez]

Hello everyone.

I am upgrading my workstation from 32x to 64x of xp pro+sp2.

Unfortunately it seems like MS forgot to make management tools for the 64x flavor of it's best OS ever (not to fond of 7 yet). Is 7 even compatible with admin tools to work with server 2003 and exchange 2003? If so I might just go to 7 *gulp*

Does anyone know of a workaround or if I am just downloading the wrong exe's? I dont seem to find anything labeled xp 64x.

frustration taking over.

Thanks for reading

Give at least 1 reason to switch to XP x64 from x86 (32 bit), please. (I can't find one, I'm running Windows 7 x64, and have run Vista x64 for the last 2 years)

Biggest troubles with XP x64:
- Lack of drivers for any hardware
- No drivers are created for even the most generic hardware
- Lack of support from hardware vendors
- Lack of support from software vendors

(No I didn't put 1 reason in twice!)
