Two Program Files Folders

On 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium why would there be two "Program Files" folders?

Thank You

In 64-bit Windows, native 64-bit applications are installed in Program Files and native 32-bit applications in Program Files (x86) folder. Both are very important system folders and should be left as they are.

Do not try to uninstall either of them!
