Same here. 64-bit server installations have been my default for three 
or four years. Installing a 32-bit Linux on a dedicated server 
requires a clear, uncontestable justification. Installing a 32-bit 
Linux in a virtual server container has a lower bar for justification.

Unfortunately, our Windows servers are still 32-bit because the 
application vendors with whom we do business still recommend them.
