Hmm, I dunno, if we can allow these questions: - http://serverfault.com/questions/429299/good-reasons-to-keep-32-bit-microsoft-windows-desktop-oses - http://serverfault.com/questions/69384/to-virtualize-or-not-to-virtualize (historical, the site has evolved since then) (ok so that's all I could find on a whim, but I know there are others in the same vein) then I'm willing to give your question a 2nd chance. I'll let others give their feedback on meta first and keep an eye on it before re-opening it though.
