Comment 2 for bug 585940

Completely agree with you. From present marketing perspective, maybe for new users 32 bit version would be better, just because it is less buggy (at least some people say, but I not feel that) and for 32 bit versions it is easy to install native codecs, flash, adobe air, restricted extras etc, But 64 bit is the future and therefore strategically this version is more important for ubuntu community and (hope so) canonical. Even on computers bellow 4 GB ram potential speed, stability and security advantages could be received on specifically implemented programs. And I agree apple is a good example, they are at the top of the innovation within OS industry and at least for now they clearly show what is the future. Therefore for those reasons, users with 64 bit ready machines should be encourage to choice 64 bit OS version, rather than 32 bit OS.
