Hi!
I don't see Microsoft deprecating 32-bit applications in the near future as too many Enterprise customers rely on legacy
applications which might be 32-bit only, so once they go that route I expect they will announce this change early enough
(yes, I do give them that much credit :-)).
Then again, how much time do you think will need to be invested before we can provide stable 64-bit builds?
