Yes apparently it is, according to Bob Muglia. Heres a little intro...

Yep, you read right. Not sure if this was out there before, but ZDNET UK caught Bob Muglia at the TechEd IT Forum in Spain, and they talked for a bit... 64 bits to be exact. We will ship "Longhorn" in the second half of next year, and we will ship a 32-bit and a 64-bit version. That will be the last time we ship a 32-bit version. From that point, the next release, which will be roughly two years later, that product will only be available as 64-bit. Muglia also revealed that the Hypervisor, codenamed "Viridian", can only be managed on 64-bit versions of "Longhorn" Server, but will be able to run...

There is also a cool vista countdown counter on the page and some other interesting stuff so check it out if your a vista fan.

I wonder why its still called 'Longhorn Server'?
