Dan -

when asked how difficult it would be to move existing 32-bit apps to 64-bit NT, said: "If you wrote your application the way Microsoft dreamed up last week, maybe you won't need to rewrite your app. Otherwise, you will." But he did note that Microsoft is talking about providing with 64-bit NT some kind of sandbox that will allow you to run "messy" applications in a special environment-but only as long as they aren't larger than 32-bits.

Ah, Bullsh*t. AFAIK, there is only one company that has simultaneous 32 and 64 bit application availability. Why? It's damn hard to do. MSFT is a company far from the leading edge in things like compiler and OS design, so this is something I'd be extremely surprised to see from them.
