Description
The OSGeo4W 64 bit installer for windows does not include GRASS 7 as implied by the documentation on http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software/ms-windows/
Perhaps there are reasons for that but the above page should make it clear that the two installers give different packages.
Incidentally, the GRASS 6.4.3 version installed by the 64-bit installer does not seem to work. I can't even get it to display a raster or vector layer from my grassdata space.
Cheers David.

You also have to also distinguish between 32/64 system and application. The page says that it will work for Windows XP through Windows 8 (both 32 and 64 bit) but the application itself is just 32bit. If you think that it is too confusing, please propose better wording on grass-dev, grass-user, grass-web mailing list or preferably fill the ticket with proposed changes at http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ as suggested.
This is OSGeo4W. The referred page is from the GRASS project. Please file a ticket there.
Our main page states that 32bit and 64bit (unfortunately) contain different sets of packages. The grass package page also states that most GRASS things are available on 32bit only.
That 6.4.3 doesn't work for you is a different issue. Please file another ticket with steps to reproduce.
