Just for info.

-{ Quote: "Even some of Microsoft's own Office plugins are not yet compatible with the 64-bit software, including the Outlook Social Connector, which hooks the software into social networks such as Facebook. Third party plugins from LinkedIn and Symantec are also 32-bit only." }-

I don't use office for plugins, I find the "warning away from 64bit misleading". I've been using the beta of 2010 purely for 64bit ever since release with 0 problems.

It's a bit ridiculous, imho. Major PC vendors continue to push 64bit hardware and operating systems on consumers by pre-loading their systems, almost certainly with Microsofts blessing as they are the ones who have the contracts with said vendors to preload their OS and software. Yet, MS lags behind with supporting their own software for it, and multitudes of other software vendors/developers are either far too slow or outright refuse to support 64bit systems.
