I use an x86-32 system myself.
So do many other people.
Besides, it's not really your call to decide if x86-32 is obsolete.
If it's anyone's call, it's for companies like AMD and Intel that
actually make the chips. Microsoft doesn't make x86 chips, so their
opinion on x86-32's viability is none of our concern.
Similiarly, if I were a marketing director for pepsi, I wouldn't listen
to anything that Coca cola has to say about what flavors of soda to
make. A problem with the liquid CO2 company I buy my fizz from however
WOULD get my attention.
