My bet is on the FLASH part. I started using IE for facebook. Everything  
works... sort of.[1] I tried using the IE64 bit version that also comes  
with Vista. FLASH has a real bad problem with IE 64. The recommended  
upgrade page doesn't have a working(downloadable) version just yet. I  
suspect FLASH is lagging behind the web page developers (if that's  
possible).

So, since I suspect Opera is dependant on what is cranked out of the FLASH  
guys (Adobe.com), there wont be a resolution coming soon.


BTW IE 64 flys compared to the 32 bit verion. But I'll be sticking to  
Opera, it's better all around.

Now when a Opea64 hits the wires... watch out! <any day now, right?>
