Thanks! I am not really up to date with tech news, and I tried searching the interenet for it. I found out about the microsoft trial edition... but I came here wondering if I could buy one in India right now... I wanna upgrade my PC, but no point doing it if there isn't enough 64 bit compatible software... But, Thanks allt he same for your help, guys!

And...

Yes its availabele mate.

If u have an Original version of 32 bit XP it is being upgraded free of cost to 64 bit. But u will have to turn in the 32 bit XP and unistall and formatt it before u install XP 64 bit.

Dont know if its still running. Check Microsofts site for details.
