I totally feel your pain. Every geek already knows the limitation of 32bit computing and the end is near for it. However, it's sad as you have pointed out how major companies don't support 64bit computing. Although the support have been greatly increased over the years, more needs to be done, especially in the advertising area.

It's sad when consumers buy a new computer in the store now days, with it being 64bit and everything, only to find out that some of their applications don't work and have no idea how to fix it. Heck, they don't even know what 32bit or 64bit computing is!
