There are certainly a few issues with 64bit Win7. Two of my more expensive software packages won't run in 64 bit: The Oxford English Dictionary and Cap'n Voyager (marine navigation software.) Both install correctly as X86 programs, but neither of their copy protection schemes run in 64 bit.

As in your two examples, it's often only 1 small part of an application that causes it to not work properly on a 64-bit OS. Fortunately is it not many apps, and also fortunately most of those apps will run fine in XP mode.
