32-bit software works just fine on 64-bit operating systems. What doesn't work, is 16 bit applications....that are supported with 32-bit systems.
I tend to agree with this view. The average consumer just doesn't have a need for more than 4GB of RAM yet. Generally speaking, they don't run apps that "really" take advantage of 64-bit processors.
However, in a business and such...having to run and support 2 operating systems is a real PITA for both the user and the IT staff. For home users and such, it works out alright.
