Win7 and Vista 64bit get a free Cisco IPSEC client

The Long awaited release of a Cisco IPSEC client for 64bit operating systems has finally come to pass. The new Cisco VPN client version 5.0.07 is ready for download. The new client supports Windows 7 x64 and Vista x64. Unfortunately, no support for XP x64 machines. It is strongly recommended that if you use Vista that you upgrade to SP2 or later.
