I think running a 64bit system is all very nice (and fast), except for software availability. Sure, most software has a working 64bit version (unlike on Windows...), but a few pieces essential for the typical user are missing: most browser plugins, openoffice, wine etc.
openoffice wont be far off, infact i believe its working 64 bit already, wine well... seriously, and browser plugins? what plugins do you mean? i run debian on powerpc as my main laptop and i cant say ive ever had any problems getting software. but on my windows machine i have no end of trouble getting software.
