1. Comment - Microsoft Software to Require 64-bits

   "Please are lazy, so sometimes you need to give them a push in order to benefit the masses."
   
   Sure, if security updates are freely available, you might encourage sysadmins to upgrade patches etc (which is not equivalent to forcing them, of course). In my opinion you can never force them to, you could however warn them that a lack of relevant updates makes them responsible for eventual bugs / exploits which have been fixed in the new release / patch / update / whatever.
   
   Forcing people to update their hardware seems to me like an even bigger step in the wrong direction. If I want to use the same server (and software) for years and years, that should be a possibility, though of course it might not all too wise ;).

   "it is better to have it bloated with features than to be lacking, wouldn't you say?"
   
   O, I'm not so sure about that. A product can be so full of features, it requires a huge manual to understand where to even start. That's why I like the concept of being able to switch between standard and advanced mode, it addresses different types of users.
