I think the question is not "why should I choose a 32bit OS" but
rather "why in gods name should I buy hardware that's been capable
of running in 32-bit mode for NN years and then cripple it
by running some archaic crud which makes life needlessly hard
for the programmer, slow for the user, and which can't multitask
because of its dependency on some stupid real-mode code".
