Ask Slashdot: Best 32-Bit Windows System In 2012?

First time accepted submitter justthinkit writes "I have a number of applications that will not run on 64-bit Windows, but I would like to gain the benefits (most better caching) of having more than 4GB of RAM. Am I stuck with these Windows operating systems? And why is Windows Server 2008 Datacenter and Enterprise not included on that page? Should I go with a Linux or Win 7/8 system, and run a VM of Windows XP? Is this a solved problem or a lost cause?"

Yet another stupid Ask Slashdot question

[vinn]

I'm getting really sick of the quality of "Ask Slashdot" submissions. Things really seem to have gone downhill in the past year in this category. This is a retarded question that quite a few 8th graders could answer. In other words, your apps probably work fine and for the very few that don't, run a VM. Why you're still on XP is beyond me.

All these dozens of posts.

Just recompile the stuff.

"I don't know how, I mean, how will that fix it?"

Force int to 16 or 32-bit accordingly and...

"We don't have the source code."

Well, just rewrite it. Good god.

"I don't know ho..."

MOOOOOOOOOVE!!!
