Unofficial questionnaire - just wondering what are your reasons for not installing Win64 and living with the limitations of Win32. Doing graphics, CAD, 3D is even more of a reason to go to 64b.

-afraid something might break?
-economic reasons?
-masochism?
-...

I'm anti FB too, in fact I've started an anti FB page on FB. Please "like" it.

Well, I thought I would get more replies but maybe there aren't so many left on Win32. For those still migrating, please try Win7, it's actually pretty good. Win8 might be too unfamiliar.

I think you should model and render a scene of yourself huddling around your copier machines behind a pile of sandbags, fending off the apocalypse

Great idea , but I think my 32bit windows wouldn't allow me to render it. only 3GB RAM to use would kill my PC, but still great idea I see this in my imagination.

All working machines are 64bit but the netbook with Atom N280 is limited to 32.
