Note that that page only refers to Server 2k3 and XP - Vista, 7, Server 2k8, and potentially others could support multiple CPUs, correct? Some quick googling brought me here - http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Win7multicore - could be worth a look. No point limiting yourself to old software if you don't need to, right?
The heck with MS. lol. $3k for Datacenter! I think I'll stick to dual cpu instead of quad and run it with win 7 ultimate. I'm not going back to XP 64 either. I will just have to see if it works with my copy of win 7 ultimate which kinda sucks cause newegg has a quad opteron mobo for $299!

Snarks' link addresed this.
The 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 support more than 64 Logical Processors (LP) on a single computer. New processors are now appearing that leverage non-uniform memory access (NUMA) architectures. Within the near future, a system with 4 CPU sockets, 8 processor-cores per socket and with Simultaneious Multi-Threading (SMT) enabled per core, will achieve 64 Logical Processor
