The OS and apps/services will be 64 bit. But what about the in house apps that run maintenance jobs and don't require performance anyway. You want the customers to redevelop all of those? Same for other low impact apps running on the server that don't form part of the main load bearing functions. Besides, it's not a significant amount of real estate on the chip, which is why it doesn't run 32 bit so well.
