    Not sure. Flash (youtube) works fine for me on 7 Ult 64 bit, in Chrome and IE (32 and 64 bit). I didn't do anything special, it just worked.

    What hardware are you running?

    Flash works fine on 64-bit Windows 7. Heck, it even works fine on 64-bit Ubuntu.

    I reserved 64bit flash in the back of my mind for the future.
    It is better to make it clearer.
