I haven't seen 64-bit versions of Windows (Vista and 7) having any problem running 32-bit applications. What I have noticed is that a number of older applications utilize 16-bit installers which 64-bit versions of Windows won't run, but many times those will lay down 32-bit executables and libraries that the OS handles fine.
 
As an aside, I run the 64-bit version of Debian at home and I haven't had any issue running 32-bit applicaitons, assuming ia32-libs is installed (Wouldn't be a bad idea to install this by default (a la SUSE) or at least prompt during the install).

While I agree with what you're saying, it should be noted that the Xbox 360 does support SD cards if it's plugged in to a USB adaptor (and obviously formatted as FAT). Also, not to long ago, Microsoft finally added the ability to use a standard USB flash drive as a storage devices for game saves and downloads.
