Actually a rather comfortable place. As a 'user' I don't have any app that needs 64-bit. I use FSX .. but that doesn't need 64-bit, just a good graphics card. Not many tablets or 'phones are 64-bit, either, despite their Linux kernels. I suspect 64-bit is really for servers, these days, which is where *ix excels.
