Well you can never tell what's going to happen in the future...
Maybe Microsoft starts behaving all apple-like too...

I'm thinking of doing a dual-boot with another drive to hold XP 32 bit, but I'll wait and see if Win7 64 has any issues with XP era stuff I still use.

Allright, I'm a regular visitor of oldversion.com as I like to keep the software I'm used to. So I'm always sceptic about new Windows versions and I've only been using Windows 7 for a year now. I am using all kinds of windowses througout my house so I think I have a pretty clear view on the differences.
Here's the question you could have expected: Why exactly would you want to keep using Windows XP?
I'm guessing soundcards. These are always an issue.
It took me some time to get my ESI juli@ to work with Adobe Audition. I was still using Cool Edit Pro 2.1 with Windows XP and 7 didn't want to work properly with CEP. So my avpc is now dualboot too, but I'm never ever using Windows XP anymore. Everything works just fine with windows 7 but yes, you will probably have to use newer versions of the programs you are using now. I had that problem back in the days when Windows XP hit the market. I had a PInnacleDC30. Good luck getting that to work With XP. Have been running Windows '98 until may 2003

As far as PC is concerned, 64 bit is already mainstream and everything is going to eventually go that way, with programs being written for 64 bit architecture, and I want to be able to take advantage of that.
I'm the kind of guy that really likes to stay reasonably on top of technology, because most of what I do, and even my career, requires it.
Glad I went PC all those years ago.

When you want the freedom of choice, it's a wise thing you've chosen the PC.
I was an MSX guy back then by the way. Only bought my first new PC in 1997
