Amount of users has nothing to do with whether Microsoft will continue 
to support it. Microsoft has well-defined lifecycles for support on 
their products. I'm not sure what you being on a 32-bit OS from 2001 has 
to do with my imagination of the future in 2011. :)

There are many reasons a company like Microsoft would want to let 32-bit 
x86 die; only having to maintain one platform being one of such. It is 
undeniable that the trend is going towards 64-bit (and this is a Good 
Thing, obviously).
