I've stated several times that Vista and Longhorn will be the last 32 bit operating systems from Microsoft. Time will tell if that holds true on the client, but it will certainly be the case on the server. In a recent interview with CNet, Bob Muglia, Microsoft's Vice President for Servers and Tools said, "Looking into the future, we will ship Longhorn (the next version of Windows Server) in the second half of next year, and we will ship a 32-bit and a 64-bit version. That will be the last time we ship a 32-bit version. From that point, the next release, which will be roughly two years later, that product will only be available as 64-bit."
