It stops people from being incredulous and asking you why you're a luddite. :-) 64bit has several disadvantages I can think of: 1-poorly suited to limited RAM environments (1GB or less) 2-generally more to download at updates time 3-more storage space consumed 4-needs additional software to enable running legacy apps unavailable for 64bit 5-reduces developer pool required to keep perfectly good old hardware functional 6-causes support for important apps to die (e.g. Firefox post-ESR requires Rust) -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
