x64 is where I will be headed as long as I can still get my hands on a legit copy by the time I upgrade to a 64-bit machine. Seems like they've stuck too much crap into Vista. Especially the copy protection stuff.
Personally, I want my OS to run lean, as lean as possible. I feel like if I am forced to go with Vista when I upgrade my machine to a 64, I will probably end up turning just about every OS and security upgrade off, which will essentially leave me with Windows x64 and some copyright protection software that I can't turn off. So the choice is pretty clear in this stage of the game.
My concern with x64 would only come in if somehow software drivers made for vista would eventually stop supporting the x64 environment.
