No, Flash doesn't count as an application. I wouldn't call it software ... maybe bloatware? =D
To my knowledge, any 32-bit application should be able to run on 64-bit OS, unless it's Flash and/or miscoded.
I still say we should have something like:
"For common systems"
"For advanced users" or "For x64 systems"
It's not like Microsoft didn't recommend Windows Vista x64 to users just because Microsoft VM broke or the IE Box Model was @#$)(@#. I don't install Flash by default anyway. Anyone requiring me to have Flash installed won't have my business. It's called accessibility. I always have a Windows sandbox just for Flash though, so it can play nice by itself.
