XP users won't be able to upgrade at all. They will have to clean install's. That being said most PC have had 64 processors since the early 2000's. A 32 bit OS will run on a 64 bit processor. The thing about it most pc's that are purchased with 4 gb of ram or more are 64 bit since 32 bit will only access a little over 3 gb.
Sure, this problem exists as another problem in some netbooks(mostly). I have seen some netbooks with CPU 32bit capable only. But in general I would agree for Windows to move forward in a 64bit (and maybe 128bit) versions only.
But again this is a bit irrelevant with the topic, I would mostly agree with a move like Windows Free and legal copies and in-OS purchases in order to unlock some functions or install some programs. We will see until summer, some things could be change but "there is no need to shout it"
