With Java Web Start the JVM runs as a separate process.  All the
browser has to do is kick it off. There is no 32-bit/64-bit cross
calling.

I have IE9-64/Windows 7/64, but I have not managed to get an applet to
run.  Mind you I have not yet figured out how to get 32 bit to run
either.  I just fiddle around and fiddle around and suddenly it starts
to work seemingly spontaneously some time later.  I have not yet
worked out a recipe.
