Not really, because the 32 bit hardware was more widespread when
Windows 95 came out. At the time, all software written since 1992 was
32 bit-compatible, in fact, I cannot think of any major applications
that wouldn't run on 32 bit. Contrast that to the delay in getting 64
applications _years_ after 64 bit hardware has been available.
