I've never run into a 32-bit app that hasn't run on 64-bit Windows 7. In fact, 32-bit backwards compatibility is one of the things that Microsoft has managed to get right. A few years ago, I expected the transition to be something of a nightmare, but the 4GB memory barrier came and went without much fanfare at all.
Since I moved to Windows 7, I've wanted to run a few 16-bit apps (mainly old Windows 3.1 games), and of course those don't work. However, I still think that getting rid of the 16-bit layer was an important step to modernizing the OS, and running Windows 98 in a virtual machine easily took care of the 16-bit app issue anyway.
