no i think its good to be able to run legacy code, and i hope 50 years from now, we'll still be able to run 8 bit code on whatever (quantum processor) type dealy we're using (assuming i haven't kicked the can by then)... the only thing holding us back (since windows XP 64 and the pentium 4 640) is people actually developing 64-bit appz (in most cases, 32bit is plenty enough, so why make a 64bit version?)
if you can still buy 32-bit processors, not outta some old warehouse, and not second hand, then your wasting your money, nowadays ALL pre-built machines are 64bit capable, and all motherboards/processors are 64 bit capable as well, again assuming their not a half a decade old...
