There are plenty of Windows 8 (not RT) tablets being sold today that ship with 32-bit Windows 8(.1). (I happen to have one!) I doubt they'd want to drop 32-bit folks completely at this point, so that means keeping two builds with the related increases in development and support costs.

My guess is that they'll have 64-bit builds eventually, but well after they've knocked off a bunch of other items on the request list and have more time to maintain two builds.

+1 for 64, but as Parody has mentioned... not a priority ..barely on radar infact

All of my players are on XP and my main gaming machine is W8.1 so have feet in both camps....

I am not a tech guy, but wouldn't a 64 bit build be backward compatible? I have never noticed software to care it im running 32 or 64 bit, only the OS.

no, you generally have to write the code to be compiled for 64 bit. Sometimes if the code is written in a specific way, you can compile it for both without much effort.

its one of the complaints about chrome, that there is no 64 bit.

Ah. Thank you.

It's the other way around: the OS is backward compatible. At present, 32-bit applications can run on 32-bit and 64-bit (Windows) OSes, but 64-bit applications can only run on 64-bit systems.

Microsoft could take this ability away, but it's probably not going to be for a while. It took years for them to put out an OS that didn't run 16-bit applications, and even today you can still run 16-bit applications if you install the 32-bit version of Windows 7 or 8.

With the .NET frameworks you can create single applications that will run in the proper mode on 32 and 64-bit systems, but (among other limitations) only if you restrict yourself to the framework and libraries that are similarly built for running on both. I doubt this will work for Realm Works, looking at the libraries it uses.

Hope this makes some sense. It's probably more than anyone really cares about on this forum. :)

+1 for a 64-bit version - when time allows (so not a priority now).
