So sad but true... my water heater went down today :( Basement 
flooded and it is blinking out a bad vapor sensor error code.

Yeah, I know. And if you're writing that kind of software, 
installing Visual Studio isn't a big deal.

But my point is that the kind of typical hobby stuff and a huge 
(HUGE) subset of other work too functions perfectly well with 32 
bit, yes, even with optlink. You can do web applications, desktop 
applications, games, all kinds of things with the out-of-the-box 
dmd install and nobody will be the wiser of 32 vs 64 bit unless 
someone makes a specific stink over it.
