Anybody running XP64?

I'm interested in hearing some user opinions, for good or for ill, the troubles you guys faced and so on.

Now, I'm far from an early adopter especially when it comes to stuff MS puts out. Really it takes at least one or two service packs before I'm happy enough to go forward, which should automatically rule me out since XP64 is, after all bleeding edge technology, but since I forsee EM64T capable hardware in my future, I'm just curious to know whether this is an option.

Is it even available for purchase or is it just a curiosity? Are the performance improvements justified or just vaporware? Do you get the performance benefits running 32-bit software on top of XP64 or are we looking at a complete recompile?
