IMHO 64 bits is not really far away, it's actually closer than expected! I mean - the market for applications that specifically need 64 bits is really, really narrow. And the 64 bit Windows is really far from what it should be.
On the other hand, considering Vista's hunger for memory, 64 bit Windows will be used more and more, by more people, and that will create more traction for it. I'm personally using Vista 64 bit so I can have +4Gb RAM in my host system, so I can run a +2Gb XP 32Bit Virtual Machine - and it's a pain, drivers are pour quality (if they exist at all). And I learned the hard way that "supports all Windows versions, including Vista" never means "Includes Vista/XP 64 bit support". I consider proper Unicode support in the VCL and generics to be much more important features! For me, 64 bit goes into the same category as dot NET: good technology to be used at some distant point in time.
