Love 'em or hate 'em, if there were zero market, or effectively a financially zero market, MS wouldn't STILL be offering a 32 bit only OS in this 2nd quarter of 2014.

Now let the hate posts for this 64 bit heretic begin.

No hate posts from this pro 64 bit advocate. I think there is room for both as of today but that will probably change tomorrow.

I believe that those using RTs are happy with 32 bit and those using MIDI are not as most of the really good MIDI sound sources are 64 bit. This is because of the ram needed need for those VSTis.

I also believe that MS is still offering 32 bit systems is because industry has a lot of proprietary programs running in 32 bit. It may be easier to convert them to a new 32 bit OS than to a new 64 bit OS, don't really know. However I think those days are numbered also.

The fitness trainer asked me, "What kind of a squat are you accustomed to doing?" I said, "Diddly."


64 bit Win 11 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
