From one stand point the answer has been positive - we have saved you
time.
As of now, from what I have both read and accomplished myself, there
is no direct upgrade path. Save your user, plus any config files you have
customized, and do a new install to 64 bit. Although, I went back to 32bit
as many things I like were no longer useful and, for the average home
user, 64bit will bring nothing worth the effort of changing.
