"Rather than being left to replace a 32 bit OS with 64 at the time of upgrade, (which requires additional cost for new windows licence,) it is much better to have the right software to begin with."

Heh in some ways this is why I hate OEM installs. If people just bought the software outright from a store, for example, you get both 32 and 64 bit in the package for Vista and it will be the same for Win7. Screw OEMs and only giving 32 *OR* 64 bit options.
