I have a small office, and I currently use a Visual Foxpro Application that I wrote to handle all the data.

It is time to buy a new server. It seems that there are problems with VFP and 64 bit operating system. Should I make the move to 64 bit and try to deal with the problems that arise, or buy a new server running the older 32 bit acrhitecture?

The latter would of course require that I use Exchange 2003 instead of 2007 or 2008. Probably no big deal?
