The guy's comments are not specific to x64, they are specific to Vista. Putting aside some of the vitriol in that post, there are problems with explorer and a few other things in Vista. Some hotfixes and SP1 supposedly addressed some of that, but it still isn't perfect by any sense.

So if you don't want to run Vista you can run XP x64 instead and you'll get access to all the RAM.

Vista x64 really isn't any worse than Vista x32. There will still be driver issues and similar issues to overcome, but otherwise Vista is just Vista, x86 or x64.
The guy did state Vista x64 specifically. Of course, if his comments are relevant to all versions of Vista, I'm sure glad I stuck with XP
