Just to be correct the CTP will work with x64, you jsut can't deploy to the Zune with it - which or course makes it useless to anyone in these forums.

There was speculation amongst the MVPs that maybeyou could use VMWare or VirtualPC, install the 32 bit OS and then try to deploy from within the virtual machines - they can usually be made to see the real machines USB ports. However to my knowledge nobody has actually tried that yet.

You have 2 choices if you don't have another machine.
1. Wait till a future version
2. Clean install a 32 bit OS - you can dual boot.
