I'm now developing on Visual Studio 2008 on a 64-bit OS (Windows Server 2008 64-bit).

While the apps I write are 64-bit capable, as is IIS7, the built-in ASP.NET Development Server (aka Cassini aka WebDev.Webserver.exe) runs as 32-bit.

This brings up a plethora of issues, such as:

32-bit and 64-bit applications have separate HKLM\Software registry homes
There are 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the SQL Server Client Network Utility
Other fun surprises I haven't discovered but I'm sure will spring up

While I am finding workarounds for most of this, I have to ask...

Does anyone who has played with the Visual Studio 2010 preview bits on 64-bit architecture know if the development web servers can handle 64-bit, and if so, are there options for which mode to run it in? (Like a checkbox in the project properties, for instance)
