The current proposal seems to keep 32 bit support for applications (running in Ring 3), just removing support for having 32 bit operating systems (in Ring 0).

- somerandomqaguy 3y agoWouldn't that kill any hardware that only has 32 bit drivers as well?
- fredoralive 3y agoSeeing as Windows 11 joins Mac OS in being 64 bit only (at an OS release / kernel level), the hardware is presumably already effectively "dead" in terms of being able to run on current operating systems anyway.
