hmm.. bear in mind the 'not supported' list from citrix
 
Functionality Not Supported 
The following list contains functionality not supported by this version of
Citrix Presentation Server:
        . Novell NDS
        . Smart cards
        . Philips SpeechMike
        . Installation of Network Manager plug-ins (monitoring of
Presentation Server x64 Edition is supported using plug-ins installed on
supported platforms). Refer to the Network
<http://support.citrix.com/kb/entry%21default.jspa?categoryID=619&externalID
=CTX106453> Manager Administrator's Guide for details about supported
platforms.
        . Secure ICA
        . .NET 2.0
        . Client Database and Distribution wizard
        . Oracle
        . Port sharing between IIS and XML service
        . TWAIN (supports 32-bit applications only) 
         
        Functionality Supported through Interoperability with 32-Bit Servers

        The following components must be installed on a 32-bit server:
        . Installation Manager Packager for Citrix Presentation Server (see
"Using Installation Manager Packager to Create Packages" below)
        . The Citrix license server and the License Management Console
        . Conferencing Manager for Citrix Presentation Server 
        . Web interface for Citrix Presentation Server 
 
And I recall reading a Ms article about issues with 32bit plugins and macros
in office.. see if I can dig out the link...

Sounds like very well suited to run most 32 bit applications then?

The 64-bit of PS4 is really the 32-bit version with only those components
upgraded that needed to be to run in 64-bit (for example, printing being the
biggest piece).

How many more users can it scale to vs. 32bit presentation server or
compared to XP when running a 32 bit app?
Have there been any issues with it and how long has it been out? Would you
run a mission critical app on it at this relatively early stage in it's
development? Ie. how stable has it proven to be?
