The only reason the 32-bit version comes up, is for its
ability to run 16-bit software. And that's not the kind of
software you think it is either. There are quite a few
32 bit programs, where the installer for the program is 16-bit,
and that prevents installation of the 32 bit program [that
would have run in a 64-bit OS]. Just the installer used,
a particular free installer, is the source of a lot of
grief.

Quite a lot of the software I use is 16-bit, or even 8-bit.

So if I have to replace one of my computers I'll be looking for a
32-bit version of Windows. Having more than 3 Gb of memory is no use
at all if you cant run the programs you need to access your data.

And I never play games, so that's not the only reason either.
