the trick to getting dual-core and 64-bit support is having a larger percentage of the computing populace actually owning them. Most companies are going to write software for what the majority of their customer base, and it costs money to program new routines and such (or modules and objects, I haven't done any programming since the 90's..;). If your market is 2-5% of the installed base, then you have to ask yourself if you're going to recoup your expenses writing for such a niche market.

In time, they'll become more of a standard among people, and then it will be (financially) worth their while to write for that.  I've only a limited knowledge of 64-bit stuff (a couple of server courses, nothing serious), but I know that 32-bit stuff is still supported.

One problem the industry is running into, is that computing power and capabilities have advanced so fast, that many people (i.e., non-gamers..;) are content with what they have. You need a 'killer app' that won't run in the 32-bit world to get them to change.  Isn't it ironic..;)
