I have been running xp pro 64 bit for several months now and VFP runs perfectly.
My system is probably not typical though, I am running a quad core cpu with 8 gig of ram and I disagree with anyone who says that 32 bit apps will run slower on a 64 bit machine because that is not my experience. VFP opens so fast I can see the command window BEFORE the splash is gone, compiling some of the larger projects I have is done in about a 3rd of the time. VS2005 (huge hog) is open and ready to use in about 3 seconds typical - in work I wait upwards of 10- 15 seconds before I can start working. Adobe Reader 8 (another hog) opens instantly The only issue I have had is with iTunes - it won't recognize my daughters iPod Touch - I was able to get around this using VMWare 6 - it has support for USB 2.0 and works perfectly sharing the USB port with a 32bit guest.
