Yep, I understand. But this poses a new question: is the 64 bit arch more buggy than the 32 bit version?
Yes. The number of software authors and testers and users is higher for 32-bit architecture than for 64-bit architecture and there are architecture-specific issues which could lead to architecture-specific bugs. Of course if all source code was perfectly well written, no architecture-specific bugs would exist.
Makes sense. However, I think most newly sold computers nowdays are 64 bits, no? Then the numbers should increase. No users --> no testers --> bugs - --> reluctance to upgrade --> no users --> litly push for drivers and support. etc. It would then make sense to encourage users to try to upgrade :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
