MANY 32 bit programs can run fine under 64 bit windows, but not all. Utility programs are potential problem programs (drive scan type of programs), and some programs that really max out your system resources might be potential problem ones.
So, while you do need to "be careful" with what you install, most day-to-day "normal" programs are USUALLY ok. But it doesn't hurt to check with the program vendor before you install. So don't feel like it was a dumb question - better safe than sorry!
