I've been using 64 bit Windows 7 and 64 bit Ubuntu for a while now. I've had more concerns with 64 bit support in Windows than Linux by far. And in Windows I have *one* 64 bit application that I use that doesn't come with Windows - Putty - Which doesn't even need to be 64 bit.
At first I had to use a 32 bit web browser in Linux. Then opera had a 64 bit version with support for 32 bit flash. Then there was finally a 64 bit flash. Now everything is peachy. That said, I'm still not sure how much benefit you really get ;) Ben.
