Thread: 64bit only for Windows?

In my opinion, the computer industry is well past the point that it should be 
making active efforts to support 32-bit.  Being able to still run old 
unsupported 32-bit software on a modern machine still has a lot of value, but 
still explicitly supporting 32-bit hardware with new software has no real value, 
except maybe if the software is for certain tiny embedded devices.  All modern 
PCs have been 64-bit for at least 15 years now. -- Darren Duncan
