Is there a 64 bit Visual Studio at all?
His arguments make little sense. Even if the new XML office formats are free of portability issues, Office64bit will still have to support old doc/xls files. I hope. On the other hand I completely agree with him: 90% of apps do not need to be ported to 64bit. Unfortunately that's not 90% of the customers think. They all demand native 64bit now :(

@MK: The office "*recreational speculation*" doesn't survive the sniff test. Nonetheless, the part of the article relevant to the question (re: VS x64) seems pretty solid.

Well, the part creating the executables would be the compilers. They have not much to do with the IDE itself; cross-compiling isn't exactly magic too.
