64bit Vista - any issues to be aware of?

Dym had a similar problem with his sound card. Vista didn't want to know, then at some point it decided there was a sound card there, then at other point it decided it's a 5.1 card.

One for the software developers (excluding .NET and it's ilk) - from one of our systems, it seems that if you compile something for 32-bit using 64-bit Vista, there's a chance you'll get unexpected results if you then try to run that on 32-bit XP. 32-bit Vista doesn't seem to have this problem.
