Is anyone out there actually still using 32-bit systems for new deployments? On purpose?
I know I occasionally see people who have 64-bit systems and have installed 32-bit OS on them. They are one of two things: people who don't know what they are doing, or why their server is then having memory problems, or people who have 32-bit Linux installed on their laptops because there is no good 64-bit Flash Player plugin for Linux. (/me shoots Adobe in the Face... it's called re-compile it and release, please)
The 32-bit laptop people I don't care about - they are not yet hosting websites on their laptops while browsing YouTube. Yet.
The others just need the learning.
Which brings me back to... should we start to consider 32-bit a dinosaur sort of like AIX 4.1?
(I should be clear here... I am honestly asking... not just trolling. I'm also not advocating bad code - see previous post.)
