That deal is only if you purchase a new computer today onward from participating manufacturers. You are, however, eligible for the upgrade edition of Windows 7, which is $100 less.
As to 32-bit and 64-bit, both will continue to exist, as with Windows Vista. Ultimate will include both DVDs while it is unclear if lower editions will. Nevertheless, you can order one or the other for the cost of S&H and use the same product key.
Hope this helps,

P.S. Note: You cannot upgrade from Windows XP directly; you must upgrade to Windows Vista first or perform a clean install due to technological limitations.
I have an existing copy of Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Edition which I purchased an OEM Version from NewEgg.com back in March 2007 when I built my own custom PC. Unfortunately, after several months time of BSODs and other annoyances, I eventually dropped Vista and simply went back to the standard Windows XP Professional 32-bit Edition. I still have the Vista disc and serial and all, not currently being used.
So in short, I am wondering precisely what sort of deal I am eligible for when Windows 7 comes out? I had loosely heard that perhaps I will be able to get Windows 7 completely for free. Is this right? Or maybe I can simply just get a discount on the upcoming Windows 7? Also naturally, I am going to want to get the Ultimate edition of Windows 7 no doubt, however, are their going to be seperate 32-bit and 64-bit versions like in the past? The information I have researched has not clarified this as of yet.
