My neighbor works for Microsoft in their Server department and he told me that they haven't made their minds up on whether Vista will be 32 or 64 bit.

Well, they'll be losing big bucks if they make it 64-bit only... For the next development of windows server, i'd bet on 64-bit.

Windows Vista will support 64-bit native and 32-bit legacy. What will cause the switch to 64 will be more 64-bit only programs.
Microsoft's Windows Vista will support both 32-bit and 64-bit. However, there hasn't been much talk about the versions that will be available. For example, will it automatically switch between the two based on your processor, will you have a choice which to install, or will there be two seperate versions? Also, will they continue to have a seperate Media Center version, or will that be merged into the "standard" offering as Microsoft pushes the PC into the living room? I've heard a lot of speculation, but no definitive answers.
