| MS still look like they will ship Win7 as both 32-bit and 64-bit variants, with the speed that graphics cards are increasing memory a 32-bit looks obsolete. AS cards now have 2GB, and you could end up with 4 cards giving 8GB now, in 2 years we may have cards with 4GB or 8GB on there own.

Windows 7 is going to be a replacement for the aging systems that currently run Windows XP and are unable to run Vista. A 32-bit version will most likely be for those that don't need ultimate power and are happy with Onboard graphics and 1Gb of RAM.
I agree in the high end though, 32-bit will easily be a no.
By the time it is released (2010 ish) they may have revised their plans though. More info is coming on 27th October as said here: http://forum.micromart.co.uk/Topic304415-31-1.aspx

Yep Microsoft should be trying to phase 64bitness in by now. they gradually moved away from 16bit to 32bit via windows 3.1, win 95/98 and finally win 2000 so they should of been starting the ball rolling towards 64bit with vista.
me wonders why they haven't

I agree I used Vista 64 for ages... But it is still just 64bit bloat ware as opposed to 32bit. It does nothing better and XP does it quicker...
