during which time still doesn't really roll of the tongue, ne? Maybe it still needs some more refrasing. We are trying to get accross that:

During an extended period of time mostly 32-bit consumer computers were fabricated.
That 32-bit is a designation for the collective of those computers.

I agree. I dislike it. It sounds like corporatese. Changing to "in which" here is enough to fix it. --Shlomital 12:52, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

32-bit applications for Windows 95/98

Windows 95 and Windows 98 weren't "applications", they were operating systems with a mix of 16-bit and 32-bit code. They supported both 16-bit (DOS and Win16) and 32-bit (Win32) applications. Guy Harris (talk) 19:01, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

32-bit applications for Mac OS

Mac OS supported applications with at least 24-bit pointers, and later versions supported applications with 32-bit pointers; the 68000 and all later 68k processors, and the PowerPC processors, supported 32-bit arithmetic as well, so the apps for the Mac weren't 16-bit apps.

For example, Office 95 was available in 32-bit form[1]. Guy Harris (talk) 21:46, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
