- Driver Incompatibility: Early 64-bit drivers for plotters (e.g., HP DesignJet) were buggy. Many users had to run a 32-bit Plotter Manager.
- No LT 64-bit: Frustratingly, Autodesk did not release a 64-bit version of AutoCAD LT 2011. Light users on 64-bit Windows were forced to buy the full version.
