"Windows Vista has been dragged through the IT industry mud for most of its life, in some cases for good reason. But Microsoft's OEM chief believes that Windows 7's success will help repair the damage to Vista's reputation and polish its legacy.
Windows 7 and Windows Vista share much of the same code, and over time, this could cause Windows Vista bashers to soften their views, said Steve Guggenheimer, vice president of the OEM division at Microsoft. 'I think people will look back on Vista after the Windows 7 release and realize that there were actually a bunch of good things there,' Guggenheimer said in a recent interview. 'So it'll actually be interesting to see in two years what the perception is of Vista.'"

The code base for 64Bit Vista is the same as 32Bit Vista. It's not like XP 64 which was really win2k3. Windows server (all bits) and Windows Vista are based on the same code.
I think your conclusions are incorrect, there must have been another reason you had so many problems with the 32B version.

It's kinda sad, but the 64bit version of Vista is quite good. I had nothing but problems out of 32bit, and rolled back to XP many times. The vast majority of my stability and performance issue completely disappeared when i switched over to the 64bit version. You would think it wouldnt be that big of a deal, but it was really night and day for me. The server code apparently amounts to alot more than one would imagine.
Try 64bit, if you're hardware supports it. But yeah the 2 service packed helped alot, but the 32 vs 64bit was night and day for my setup.
