Tier 1 support: E.g. why isn't Windows supported for 32-bit?

The basic reason is just that 32 bit linux is a much more relevant platform since Linux is used in embedded and other much more hardware constrained environments. Windows already takes about 2 gb of ram, so there are very few platforms where a 32 bit windows makes any sense. Also, Microsoft has stopped distributing 32 bit versions of the operating system.
