Which 64-bit platforms? 64-bit x86 and / or 64-bit Itanium?

I've not watched the video yet (today).

Both actually, since Microsoft included pinball.exe on the Itanium install disk. Works too (although there are complications)

My understanding is that Windows XP x64 Professional is 64-bit x86 and
not Itanium.

There is also a chance that I'm misremembering things.

No, its just the worst product naming scheme known to man.
