Nonsense. There isn't even a 64-bit version of Office and it runs just fine
on my Vista Ultimate x64 box. The 64-bit processors contain all the
standard instructions for running x86 software. That's why you see "86_64"
describing the Intel Core processors. That's also why the newer x64
instruction set is called "extensions."
In any case, if 32-bit software couldn't run there would be no reason to
have the WOW64 layer or to have the Programs Files(x86) folder in x64
Windows.
I don't want to resort to suggesting that you could drive at your IQ without
risking getting a ticket, but you do need to better inform yourself on
what's up these days with running software on the new operating systems.
