Must say, I got all excited over the 64-bit IE (I'm a new 64bit Vista user).
That is UNTIL darn near every website wants to install Flash and there isn't
a 64-bit version. Oh well....

That's why the 32-bit version is the default, of course. The 64-bit version
is there so that developers can test against it as they begin adapting their
websites for 64-bit and for the future when 64-bits becomes the standard.
