    The only program I know off the top of my head is 7-Zip, which I use a lot. Are there any others? Is there a 64-bit Photoshop? How about MS Office?

    Oh and I know there's 64-bit IE.

    These are programs I have installed in the 64-bit Program Files folder:

    7-Zip (like you mentioned)
    Fraps
    K-Lite Codec Pack
    Mozilla Minefield (64-bit version of Firefox)

    Here are some others that I have also found, but not installed:

    Norton 360 (installs into Program Files x86, but has the ability to use 64-bit engine)
    iTunes
    O&O Defrag
    Vista Codec Package
    Alcohol 120%
    MagicDisc

    There's a loads more, it all depends on what you need. However, I don't think there is a 64-bit version of Office :(

    Photoshop CS4 has both 32- and 64-bit binaries as I understand it.

    Anyway, this site lists some stuff w/ 64-bit binaries available: http://www.start64.com/

    There is no 64-bit build of Office.

    I use x64 versions of Putty, Gimp, Notepad2, InfraRecorder, TortoiseSVN, Python, POVRay, UltraVNC, and Firefox.

    Vista comes with a 64-bit version Media Player. It is not the default. I think there's also a 64-bit build of MPC.
    ---

    Infrarecorder, an open source CD/DVD burning suite, has a 64-bit version.
