And the same goes for plugins, many of which are still available in both versions. Do 32-bit DAW's and plugins keep each other alive?
In a nutshell, what are the advantages of 64 bits, if any?
64 and 32-bit hosts forever?

When downloading the latest version of my DAW today, I was wondering how much longer that parallel world of 32 and 64-bit versions of DAW's will continue. Till the last 32-bit plugin has disappeared?

32-bit plugins and DAW's will eventually disappear. Cubase, Reason and Logic are already 64-bit only, and don't feature 32-bit bridges either to my knowledge. There's probably more.

Hopefully 32 bit will be gone very soon. I write software and a poll of all my users showed not a single one has a 32 bit os any more so I have just today ditched 32 bit - makes life much easier

Why does MS continue to sell 32-bit versions of Windows operating systems, even of W10?

As with iOS, Apple will require all new Mac apps on their store to be 64-bit. The wording in their announcement about 10.13 being the last version to support 32-bit "without compromise" suggests it's for the chop soon.

For all those computers that have less than 4 gig of RAM. They want people with older computers to use their newest OS too. It's Microsoft, not Apple!fluffy_little_something wrote:Why does MS continue to sell 32-bit versions of Windows operating systems, even of W10?

AFAIK, if you have bought a 32 bit app, you'll still be able to download it (not buy it).sprnva wrote:As with iOS, Apple will require all new Mac apps on their store to be 64-bit.

2GB is the minimum for x64, but business and industry are much slower to adopt so MS will have 32-bit for as long as it has a significant billable support legacy.T-CM11 wrote:For all those computers that have less than 4 gig of RAM.fluffy_little_something wrote:Why does MS continue to sell 32-bit versions of Windows operating systems, even of W10?

I have an iPhone 4 which is stuck on iOS9 and can still download the 32-bit apps. I’m going to download them all to my iTunes Desktop though, as a backup.T-CM11 wrote:AFAIK, if you have bought a 32 bit app, you'll still be able to download it (not buy it).sprnva wrote:As with iOS, Apple will require all new Mac apps on their store to be 64-bit.

To my knowledge, mostly low spec'd devices, like tablets coming with only 1 or 2 GB of Ram will run a 32-bit Windows 10. Not sure why, but, they seem to think it is a better idea to run 32-bit, probably, because 64-bit applications typically address more Ram?

And apparently ios isn't being autocorrected by ios on this forum. Nice. Great job Apple. Safari text editing is a disaster and autocorrect is often half-assed.

Lots of industry still has ancient hardware. In fact, COM ports are still desirable in mission critical systems.yellowmix wrote:Because Microsoft has excellent legacy support and some places are stuck with 32-bit processors and apps for whatever reason.
