Not necessarily true.  I run both 32- and 64-bit versions of the JVM on my 
Vista 64 box, because some browsers only come in 32-bit versions and therefore 
need the 32-bit plugin to run applets.

That depends on the JRE/JDK installed.  To use the tomcat6.exe program that's 
included with the .zip and .exe downloads, you must associate it with a 32-bit 
JVM - even on a 64-bit platform.

There is no 64-bit service installer.

What you downloaded was the 64-bit versions, necessary to run Tomcat as a 
service with a 64-bit JVM.  It should not be necessary to rerun the service.bat 
script.

Not correct.  Use the AMD64 version, which applies to current 64-bit chips from 
both AMD and Intel; the IA64 version is for an older Intel 64-bit architecture 
which has pretty much been killed off (just not soon enough for those of us 
that had to use it).
