According to analytical department of Microsoft, almost half of the currently used copies of the operating system Windows 7 are 64-bit.
This trend indicates that gradually era 32-bit operating systems is over, and with it come to an end and the limitations associated with the use of such systems. For example, using 64-bit OS, the user can install on your computer 17,000,000,000 gigabytes of RAM, and a system to adequately take advantage of them, while 32-bit operating system operates with only 4 GB of RAM (for work, and it is only available 3 6GB). Also, 64-bit Windows faster to cope with multi-threading, both in terms of number of programs are an excellent springboard for the deployment of virtualization and more secure systems in general.
As the proportion of 64-bit Windows 7 made a good contribution to PC makers - now more and more new computers are delivered to the stores is a 64-bit editions of Windows, and large software vendors have long supported the work of their products on these operating systems.
According to figures published by Microsoft, today nearly half of installed copies of Windows 7 have a 64-bit version of the system. According to the company, this means fast mass rejection of the 32-bit computer architecture.
In the ongoing transition to 64-bit processors home and corporate users is much faster than the transition from 16-bit to 32 in the same period of time (recall that the first 32-bit processor appeared 25 years ago, but only in 2001 year, such processors have received the widest distribution). At present, almost all new processors have 64-bit architecture.
