Do you really think people are stupid enough to buy a notebook [not 64-bit for Vista]?

That all depends upon whether people are stupid enough to want Vista.

I have not heard much good said about it. One of the most telling and funniest cuts was..

"The problem with Vista is that we were promised Longhorn."

OTOH, the worst thing I've heard about WinXP-64 is that it is not going to be sold retail or as an upgrade.

That is a primary reason for me to time my purchase of a X2 64bit lapton for this summer/fall. I want WinXP-64 on it, not Vista.

They can run and install 32-bit Vista. I think millions of people will buy notebooks like that.

You have a limited view of this. My company is still on Windows 98. About 1/2 of the computers are WinXP. My corporate accounting software works under Windows, but it still supports DOS.

Some small portion of the universe will think the way you do.
