RE: Running 64bit applicatons
Before they are common on (almost) all PCs will take quite some time I think, since *the masses* don't buy a new PC that often. So 32bit will stay with us for quite some time from now.
You can, however, run your 32bit apps on a 64bit OS. So if you want to switch to 64bit, you won't have to buy/download/wait for 64bit versions of all your software and drivers. You can just use all of your 32bit apps and install a 64bit version every now and then as soon as it's stable enough for your needs.
