(I know Robert is aware of why MS did the WoW thing initially but I'm having some fun here.) Yes, compare this to the perfectly logical Linux where /usr/lib64 is just a symlink to /usr/lib, where both 32bit and 64bit applications are stored together. Of course that depends on your distro but that apparently hasn't confused any Linux developers ... oh wait it has. As an example Ubuntu is more explicit with /usr/lib, /usr/lib32, and /usr/lib64. Oh wait, they changed between v2 and v3 to multiarch with usr/lib and now /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. But I'm sure that moving target didn't confuse developers ... oh wait it did... I'm not adverse to bashing any entity for stupidity, and Microsoft deserves its share. But it's tough to bash one group when "the alternative" is just as bad at the exact same things. That's twice just today that I get a chance to comment on such things.
