Nothing like 'cherry picking' the statistics. "Steam hardware statistics are made up from information sent in voluntarily by users. They do not represent the whole ecosystem, only a niche of it, which upgrades its software and hardware frequently." Would have thought this was obvious and certainly not an applicable statistic to use to illustrate the number of 32bit/64bit OS's in existence. I can appreciate the constraints of support and development time and very much appreciate the replies from members who have taken time to respond in a positive manner with advice on how to move forward. Without wanting to open a can of worms I just wish those with supercilious comments would keep them to themselves, what's the point of welcoming me to 2018? Sneering at others has never been a particulkarly attractive trait. When I migrated from Windows 8 to Windows 10 some years ago the advice from ALL INTERESTED PARTIES was DO NOT UPGRADE to 64bit, the amount of 64bit software available was limited and most of the programmes you were using would not run unless a 64bit version had been specifically released. The advice was strongly against changing to 64bit. It appears that things have now changed and I will happily upgrade to 64bit. Many thanks for the constructive replies.

Is that the year when the vast majority of computer users in the world are running 32 bit OS's?

Well I must say that's a great marketing tool, totally ignore the multitude of computer users out there who are using 32 bit systems and go for the elitist approach and then call them older/legacy OS's/tech. Nothing like winning your audience over. 32 bit may well not be 'cutting edge' and Microsoft may well be making some very quirky decisions in continuing to offer it and support it but burying your head in the sand and ignoring the existing vast user base out there i.e. those who have not yet migrated to 64 bit is in my humble opinion nothing short of stupidity. Yet another example of the tail wagging the dog, good luck with the sales, no doubt they will improve over time.

Are there any plans to release a 32 bit version of both Photo and Designer, if so when and if not why not?
