Wine already handles 32-/64-bit, there's no need to deny users access to Windows 2000 just because they've installed Wine using the default settings on the 64-bit machines.
Again, yes there is. Win2k doesn't support 64 bit. It's a nonexistent platform, and allowing it would likely introduce unknown behavior in some applications.
What does a 64 bit Windows do when you tell it to run foo.exe in Win98 compatibility mode?
- From a user point of view I agree with Ken. I have plenty of old games that refuse to run on anything but Win98 only because of a broken version check (e.g. Need for Speed 2, 3). They run just fine in a 64 bit Wineprefix after I've used the 32 bit winecfg build to set winver=win98 via appdefault.
Otoh we can keep the "user 32 bit winecfg" solution as it is as a "use this at your own risk" fix.
