I think it was Shannon who originally asked about the benefits of upgrading to a Win 7 64 bit laptop.
If it was me, I would stick with what I have for now and wait until Windows 8 is released at the end of 2011 or early 2012. There's no point upgrading to Windows 7 when it's already due to be replaced soon. Plus, if you read the reviews of Windows 8 the new accessibility features will be worth waiting for.

As lone as you have a 32 bbit machine and the programs that work with it. Things will continue to work. The thing is is that when a new cd ripper comes out in 64 bit that is really cool, guess what with a 32 bit machine you can’t use it. Like I said your 32 bit programs will run as normal on a 64 bit os. As things progress there will less and less 32 bit programs that you can buy. Doesn’t it make sense to buy a machine that will work with both than a machine that is limited to only one of the two. The way you use window eyes with the 32 is the same as the 64. Some programs may have a different command than another but, that just learning a new program. You know what they say: “The more things change, the more they stay the same”.
