I was poking around and noticed the following:
Administrative Tools > Services (%SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc)

However the following exists as well: (%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\services.msc)

So, is Vista 64 by default using the 32bit versions, or are the 64bit
version in system32 as well?

Note: When I run both neither have the "*32" which I'm assuming is a flag
for 32bit support.

Needless to say I'm a little confused.

Did you install any 64-bit third-party programs that can
take advantage of a sophisticated 64-bit operating system?

System32 has the 64bit version. And it is what is used. Even if you run the
one in SysWOW64, you actually end up with the 64-bit one.
