Windows 7 will be in 32-bit

Q: Will Windows Vienna be available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions like Vista?
A: No, Vienna will almost certainly ship only in 64-bit versions. This is in keeping with Microsoft’s x64 migration schedule.

How wrong. Sorry Paul but you’ve got this one mixed up once again, and what a surprise - we can hardly get anything accurate from this man. Microsoft has pledged in the past that they will provide 32-bit operating systems until 2012, of which then 64-bit takes precedence. VistaBase has an article somewhere but it doesn’t seem to be working so I’ll update this page later.

    He never has been. MSBLOG has a number of articles proving him wrong - a lot of the time he’s wrong, he’s just a big bloody pompous twat.
