Vista 64 compatibility?

Building a new computer.
Bought Vista Ultimate 64-bit.

Does that OS have a compatibility mode for 32-bit software? Or do I need to
run 64-bit versions of everything? Will using the 64-bit version of Vista
severely limit what software I can use? Here are some of the programs I can
think of now:

MS Office 2003
MS Visual Studio 2005
FTP Voyager
Boxer Text Editor
Nero
Photoshop CS2
Illustrator CS2
Acrobat
Flash 8
Poser 7
Game: Supreme Commander
Game: Planetside
iTunes
Fraps

Oh and I suppose I'll switch from Outlook to the mail program built into
Vista... ? Anything you all want to share about that? For one, does that
mail program have a built-in spam-checker? If so, how effective have you all
found it to be? If it doesn't, is there a 3rd-party spam-checker that works
with the 64-bit Vista mail program?

Thanks for any info/advice you can give! (I'm going to do a lot of Googling
now to see what I can learn while I hope for response to this post)
