32-bit server, mixed 32/64-bit clients?

H

Hurricane Andrew

What are the issues that I should anticipate in such a setup? Specifically,
I'd like to tread slowly in the move to 64-bit. I have a simple home
network setup:

1 Longhorn 32-bit standard server
1 dual boot Vista/XP client 32-bit (main PC, Vista default OS)
1 dual boot XP/Vista client 32-bit (kids PC, XP default OS)

All are on a single domain.

Both clients are capable of 64-bit. The server is as well, but I'd like to
hammer out any 64-bit issues, quirks, etc. on a client before messing with
the server, plus most of my kids' games and such aren't ready for the 64-bit
plunge, so their PC will be stuck on 32-bit XP Pro for the foreseeable
future.

My main question is how 32-bit Longhorn will fare with essentially one
32-bit client and one 64-bit client. If I were going with a 64-bit server,
I wouldn't be nearly as hesitent.

Thoughts? Any experiences to share (good or bad)? Thanks in advance!
