there are BIG negatives. I have just uninstalled my 64-bit and installed the 32-bit version because of two key components.
1. I could not sync my windows mobile phone anymore with outlook, and apparently I will never ever be able to do this (google WMDC outlook 2010 64-bit)
2. Microsoft did not upgrade the Common Controls (mscomctl.ocx) to 64-bit so any office applications that use these will no longer work. We have some access applications that use these controls so this was essentially the straw that broke the camels back.
I think Microsoft have mad a huge failure in this release and have not properly assessed the implications and ramifications of these two oversights
i think it is important for people to realise these negatives up front more directly. I.e. when installing why not warn the user up front of these. I certainly would not have expected my microsoft phone to not sync with my microsoft office product, or my microsoft common control to not work in my microsoft application.
