    What is your estimate for how long will Windows supporting 32bit apps

    Hi folks,

    what is your estimate on how long Windows will support 32bit apps. Would you say for at least another 10-15 years?

    I hope for this time frame and ccould imagine that it might be even much longer as many apps that big companies run will still be 32bit.

    I'm running Windows 3.1 16-bit programs on my Windows 10 x64 system using otvdm.

    I'm running 16-bit DOS programs on my Windows 10 x64 system using MSDOS Player and DOSBox-X.

    As for x32 support,
    I'm gonna say way beyond 10-15 years from now,
    thanks to a future 3rd party who will provide a way to do so.

    Then again, that's just my opinion.
