Since Kang Su Gatlin is a program manager on Visual C++'s compiler team he has a unique viewpoint into the future of computing (the guy who develops the compiler knows what kinds of capabilities are coming). Here we asked him "what about 64-bit?"

I think x64 will be more widely adopted by the home and small bussiness pc market, and the Itanium more adopted by the Server market. I would prefer the x64, since I could still use my existing apps until new 64-bit versions come out. Just imagine the cpu speeds we will see in the 64-bit life cycle.
