Going 64bit is essential for AOO not because people need 64bit processing but because 32bit PCs haven't been produced for years and OS makers (especially proprietary) are abandoning support for 32bit software (they do need to sell new stuff, don't they?) Secondly because users have no idea what 32bit or 64bit is and if someone mentions x86 and x64 it is even worse (I have had several people asking me "I should get the x86 because it is a higher number, right?")
