By saying that 64bit can run 32bit "just fine", is implying (or at
least I infer) that there is no advantage for PHP on the 64bit
platform over the 32bit.

What are the plans for those wanting to keep up with the Jones'?

Switch to Linux ;)

Seriously ... the problem is not simply with PHP. You need a compatible
version of Apache as well - if that is your preferred web server.
http://www.apachelounge.com/viewforum.php?f=10 is the home for that
until such time as it becomes available in the main stream sites.
Personally I've only just got Vista64 running, but I'm only planning on
64bit Linux on production sites, as many of them will not allow Vista in
any form. Windows7 is another can of worms, and I don't see my customers
worrying about it any time soon.

The next major version (be 5.4 or 6.0) should support x64 in a stable
way. For now it is still experimental as many libraries have not been
fully tested on windows x64 or do not support it at all. The core
itself may need some tweaks as well, but it supports x64 already for
most of the core features.

Cheers,
