I think it is a bit out-there to call the 64-bit version of Vista "highly specialized," since for the most part all the systems Vista will be shipping on will be 64-bit systems. If anything, I think the 32-bit version of Vista will be the "highly specialized"version that only exists for odd corporate backwards compatibility reasons. I'm pretty sure that what you are going to see is Vista 64 being the standard version of Vista just about everybody has, as you would really have to go out of your way to find a 32-bit system that will even run Vista reasonably. Also, WOW is hardly some odd emulation layer specific to Vista. It is what XP64 is using right now to run 32-bit software. WOW isn't really software emulation, as much as HAL emulation. If you look at any of the benchmarks for XP64, you will find that there is no real performance penalty (and sometimes even a performance increase) from running 32-bit Apps in XP64 as opposed to XP32.
