Most x86_64 CPUs support 32-bit very well you know. Don't all these new shiny 
64-bit boxes come with 32-bit MS Vista? That should be an indication of how 
MS and PC-vendors feel about 64-bit on the desktop.

I run 64-bit openSUSE myself on my primary box and have for some time. So I'm 
not agitating against doing that. I'm just slightly annoyed that people act 
all surprised and complain when they run into some problems with proprietary 
software I guess. Don't understand how anyone remotely involved can still be  
surprised that these issues exist.

Maybe I was a bit harsh though, I'll try to keep my bitterness off the list.
