if Microsoft ever remove 32-bit x86 app compatibility from Windows, it will be worse than burning the Library of Alexandria
@hikari I don't expect this to happen, before Windows x128 releases.
@hikari they seem to quite like x86 mode, Visual Studio only got updated to x64 this year, x86 is the default config of Windows based azure app instances.
