You people seem not to understand, and I have been saying it more than once. Or maybe you have not been reading the thread, and just post here.
It matters not whether the OS is 64bit or 32 bit. The point is whether or not it can run 32bit code. And be sure of one thing, all windows OS out in the next 5-10 years WILL be able to run 32bit code, even if they are 64bit only themselves. It's simply unthinkable that they be not, there is way too many 32bit programs out there for the support to be taken away.
Do you truly think normal users would stand not being able to play ANY game out before of date x EVER again (where date x is, say, 2010? Would you?)
Do you truly think companies would COMPLETELY renew their entire software licenses just because microsoft decides to "make an os without 32bit support"?
If you think any of the above, you have no idea of what business is. The first 64bit only OS, in the sense that it cannot run 32bit applications, will be out at least a couple of years after every game developers and business software developer has switched to 64bit only application... Which may be in 2013, but certainly not in 2009....
As for the speed, I'll simply point to what jake said..

and well, as you said yourself, you'e not really a coder and do not know about pcsx2 and emulation so... better believe the words of someone who does.
