Build 9379 will leak problaby at the weekend
I wonder if they will leak it in x64 as well? These x86 leaks are a little pointless IMO. x64 has been the norm for easily 3-4 years now.
I agree with you, Chris123NT.Did anyone read what I said? Even as recently as 2010 and 2011, some people still did not own a 64-bit PC (linuxlove was such an example). And even now, there are still uses for 32-bit builds (such as 32-bit systems that can indeed run Windows 8).
Though I agree that the vast majority of people today own a 64-bit PC, it was really only since Windows Vista that most people even had one at all (apart from gamers and system administrators), and even by 2010, there were still a good number of people who didn't have one, especially since 32-bit Pentium 4 processors weren't quite as old at the time. People really seem to forget how recent it was that 64-bit computing was still catching on to some extent.
Yeah I'm pretty sure he read what you wrote, he was just stating his opinion.
Fact of the matter is, if this leaker can get 32 bit ISO's, you know darn well he can get 64 bit ones as well. Ideal situation would be leak both and make everyone happy. That's what I would do at least. But all I was saying is if you had to pick one I would say 64 bit since every CPU since 2006 CAN run it, with the exception of Atom of course.
