64-bit is a good platform that does not just offer more memory access but it also offers faster execution of code than 32-bit. Microsoft provides WOW64 for 32-bit compatibility which is good to keep making 32-bit applications but the implications and the constant switching from 32 to 64-bit makes any process suffer including the actual operating system.
The open-source community does have 64-bit support BUT mostly for Linux. Why not also Windows? In my experience working with 64-bit, it is not very difficult to support the 64-bit operating systems, so what is holding back?
I sure hope that next year we will have more 64-bit applications including the most popular ones which people use the most.
