Yes, for 64bit editions of Windows, Microsoft completely removed support for
16bit DOS and Windows 3.x software. This is causing problems even with some
early 32bit software, that started in 16bit mode and then choose if continue in
16bit or going 32.

This is something that must be addressed, because some new PCs are being sold
with Vista 64bit because they have 4 GB or more of RAM (you can't use more than
3-3.5 GB with 32bit Windows, depending on your hardware), and of course this is
going to spread out.

Gabriele
