Yep, it looks like there are now only two versions: 32 bit or 64 bit. I imagine the installer can detect which OS you are running and make any necessary adjustments automatically. I installed the 32 bit version for my XP machine and had no problem. MSE 2.0 has a few new options on the Settings tab but is otherwise little changed from the previous version.

I just noticed something interesting, previously there was a separate
download for XP 32 bit and a Vista Windows 7 32 bit. This no longer seems to
be the case. Has anybody else noticed this little fact I wonder? I imagine
they will stop supporting the earlier version shortly so I'll need to update
the web site accordingly.

I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I'll probably screw that one up
too.

A new version of MSE is out of beta now.  It can be downloaded at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=e1605e70-9649-4a87-8532-33d813687a7f&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MicrosoftDownloadCenter+%28Microsoft+Download+Center%29

Watch for a line break in the long link. You may have to cut and paste into
Notepad, remove any newline characters, then cut and paste into your
browser's address bar.

I hear it is now cluttered with unneccessary graphics.  However, the
interface seems to work identical from a screen reader perspective.  There
are a few different and new options in the settings, such as limiting the
processor at a certain maximum percent.   There are some deep differences.
It now is closely tied to other components, such as the Windows Firewall. I just installed it. I will post back if there are any surprises or pitfalls.

There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working
on things that matter.
