Does MS provide a 64 bit version of MSO office? The last time I checked,
MSO did come in separate 32/64 bit versions. One of the major benefits
of 64 bit is the database size. But I think Access limits one to 2GB
which is the limit for a 32 bit version. 

Often MS is more fanatic about backwards compatibility so their software
is often limited by still supported Windows version. For years the base
version of Windows was 32 bit XP.
