Mr Needs Question about 64bit

Qute from Mr Needs in Another Thread

far cry 2 is optimised for vista, you shouldnt need to run it in compatability mode, so i dont know why you are. and 64 bit vista shouldnt be a factor as 64bit operating systems have backwards compatability for 32bit applications. this appears to be an issue with your setup, any chance you can fill in your system specs?

Mr Needs, you made the above quote in another thread. My question is: If I go to the windows compatibility site and it shows certain softwared(Google Earth and Scrabble) not to be compatible with 64bit, but compatible with 32, is it your position that, I have backwards compatibility with my 64bit specs and can download and use the software?
Thanks

does this answer your question mate?
click on the attachment.
and look at the taskmanager, see how some applications have *32? that means that they are native 32 bit and are being emulated in 64bit.
