No 32-bit HD playback in Vista
Stumbled across this article over on TechMeme. It claims that MSFT has pulled HD-DVD support out of the 32-bit versions of Vista. So if you want to play HD-DVD content, you'll need a 64-bit machine and a 64-bit version of the OS. That is really kind of lame. Sure, 64-bit machines will be more common by the time the OS finally shifts; however, to make it a requirement will just lead to more confusion around HD-DVD.
