Upgrading to 64-bit
-
I'm about to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and I would just like to know whether VS2008 and SQL2008 will still work? And also, will I be able to write applications as normal without any special code?

Yes off course, VS2008 supports in 64 bit mode also, that can be done by ticking the needed configuration on VS2008 installation. And even you can run, it 32 bit mode also and create application to be run on 32 bit mode. We are developing the application on 32 bit on 64 bit OS, So i believe you wont face much problem. But porting the old code will be a bit tricky :)

The only problem I have encountered is the lack of 64bit shell extensions for utilities that I have become accustomed to accessing through context menus. There is supposed to be a workaround by setting explorer to start in 32bit, but I couldn't get it to work in the RC, which influenced my decision to stay with 32bit for the final version. I will move to 64bit eventually but not until I have found suitable 64 bit replacements for the utilities that I use the most through right-click.
