No one uses 32 bit Windows (especially for gaming), but at least we might at last get a 64 bit verison of the Steam client on Windows.

Future versions of Steam will run on 64-bit versions of Windows only.

Finally sounds like some plans to make the steam client 64bit

They'll somehow make the client 32 bit but still need a 64 bit computer.

It'll be two separate 32-bit clients that need to be ran together so it adds up to 64.
