Does microsoft have an upgrade plan for people who install XP-64 to be able
to upgrade to the new Vista Operating System next year?

It is WAY too early to talk about upgrade plans. Vista release is a year or
more away, and Vista is just barely in Beta. However, that being said, MS
has traditionally provided an upgrade path to the new version of the
operating system from the previous, when they were the same underlying
hardware platform. So I'm sure they will be making every effort to enable
upgrades from XP 32-bit to Vista 32bit, and XP x64 to Vista x64.

My personal opinion? I'll be doing a clean, fresh install of the final
released version.

Yes, there will be an upgrade path from Windows XP Professional x64, but
probably to only the analogous version of Vista x64. Like Charlie, I will be
doing a clean install myself, no glitches and its faster.
