Reading all of the page it does not seem such a good deal.

Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition requires 64-bit hardware drivers (32-bit drivers are not supported). Drivers for 64-bit Windows are created at the discretion of hardware manufacturers and may not be available for some of your hardware components

The installation of Windows® XP Professional x64 Editions will void any support with your PC manufacturer. One free support call will be provided by Microsoft for any installation-related issues. Additional calls to Microsoft support will be available on a pay-per-incident basis.

Cost for shipping and handling of upgrade is $12.00 USD for domestic shipments and $22.00 USD for International shipments plus any applicable taxes

what an awful deal

it states

"By participating in this program, your 32-bit version of Windows® XP Professional will no longer be licensed. "

Which means in effect if you use the 64bit version and it does not work then tough luck
