I've been pretty pleased with 64-bit Ubuntu - admittedly the recent 8.x version rather than the old 7.x. At least 64-bit applications are plentiful on Linux...

But I also have a Vista 64-bit machine - fairly happy with that most of the time, apart from some of the older bits of hardware that are no longer supported (but ironically work fine under 64-bit Linux!)

I have Ubuntu 64 bit and have pretty much everything working.  But i cannot feel any performance advantage compared to 32 bit Ubuntu. I thought media encoding would be faster, but dvd and mp3 encoding speed is identical.
