To tell you the truth, I'm a bit more concerned about the jump to 64bit being permanent, as I do have a relatively mid to high range core duo with vt-d and everything, but has no 64bit instruction set, which already stopped me from getting server 2008 r2 which is 64bit only, not to mention being limited to almost 4gb of ram. What if in a couple of windows versions 32bits completely vanishes? It doesn't sound so farfetched given the fact that even low powered cpus are 64bit compliant. And its not like there will be any 64bit emulation layer or anything like that, and even if there was it would be such a strain for the whole system that it would invalidade the whole point, probably being also limited to software emulation, cutting even more the little possible positive things about it.
