Yes, Vista will in fact be a full 64-bit operating system running a 32-bit environment to handle many older programs, as well as a 16-bit environment to handle even older programs still, and a DOS environment for all the 8-bit fun. There'll be 4 bits of the OS that actually work reliably, because its made by a two-bit company without the one bit of commonsense it takes to realise that the only way to make an OS more stable is to throw away the old, unstable sections and start again.
