Put it this way: the WOW that runs 16-bit programs -- you know, from the MS-DOS, Windows 3.1 days -- is still present in 32-bit versions of Windows. That's (well) over a decade where MS was producing only 32-bit Windows and yet was issuing new releases Windows with WOW16. (That is: Windows 95, 98, ME, XP, Vista, 7 just in the "consumer" line.) Backwards compatibility is half of how MS became by far the dominant player on the desktop.

I'd be absolutely shocked if WOW64 goes away any time before 2020.

err really I thought MS stopped supporting 16bit programs when vista was released the only OS that supports 16bit before that is winXP

Opera Labs just released a version of Wahoo that is 64-bit. I think that this isn't even considered to be alpha let alone beta. So, be careful.

Never mind that; gonna try it right away

well been using it since last night and so far so good it's only crashed once and that was during the peacekeeper benchmark during the DOM (document object model) part I closed it and retried the bench and it went all the way through without a hiccup 2667 was the score...

youtube works fine as does hotmail and a few other websites that I go to regularly so I'm quite happy so BIG ups to the labs

Yeah, Opera 64 bits version is working fine even with Flash 64 bits

Thanks Opera !

Actually it happens sometimes. I also did this mistake 2 times. So while this cannot be completely avoided, +1 to deleting your post if you find that someone has already posted that before you.

a christmas present for windoze users!

Thank you Opera! I've been hitting the 32 bit barrier for years, now I can relax - once x64 goes final and is updated in parallel with x32, Opera won't ever hit the 32 bit barrier again for me!

32-bit versions of Windows support 16-bit applications. 64-bit versions of Windows don't. Therefore, both Windows Vista and 7 have 16-bit app support as well, but only if you're running the 32-bit versions of the OS.

it's coming guys! and most of all, it's compatible with 32 bits plugins!!!

Provocation seems to help sometimes (see posting of Reiner Unsinn)?

Last week the world has changed for all those poor people dammed to use 64-bit MS-Win... .

It is in testing for 64 bit build for both Mac and Windows

You can add me to this petition too. Opera absolutely needs x64 version on windows, when a huge amount of tabs is opened opera becomes sluggish and crashes frequently. Because of that I have to stick with Waterfox(firefox x64) or Chrome, and I simply don't like their ergonomics, I hope Opera 12 will be available in both x86 and x64.

http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2012/02/09/out-of-process-plug-ins-and-64-bit-build-updated ... so W.I.P. and will come as soon as it's ready (so can we please close this thread?)

I am all for 64bit.

seriously stop asking for something that been out since Xmas and runs really well for alpha I pretty much don't use anything else now a days for browsing now if I could just get selected as the default browser I'd ditch Opera 12 32bit
