Is it a free upgrade to Vista Pro?  If not, i'd take it back.  Vista is due for release the end of this month.   I don't think XP 64 bit is available for sale anymore since Vista will be replacing it.  

I have a machine waiting to be upgraded too - I have no idea what software will/will not run on Vista.
