Are there any considerations needed to be taken running your .net program on x64 vs x86?

Question

I believe the architecture type (x86 vs x64) is abstracted away for you when making .Net programs, but are there any other considerations that can cause problems?

Answer 1

MSDN had put up a little paper regarding issues of porting 32-bit applications over to 64-bit execution environment.

Two other bloggers had previously wrote about 64-bit development when they were working in the CLR team
