I run vista 32bit on one machine with various issues that a quick search on google provided fixes for and absolutly no problems with my other computer on vista 64bit. Its hit or miss, at times I run into strange issues such as eqw wont work and if I try to load 2 clients on one machine with the eqgame.exe it crashes. I use a modified patcher from another emu pointed at the directory of the game server I want to play on and it works fine.
Windows is a pain since your best friend could have the exact same system and never have a problem and your pist off that your nice machine can not run the game.
If you just bought a machine and have vista with cd key and xp with cd key I see no reason why not to just install both and then you can choose which to boot into.
