The latest figures from the Steam hardware survey reveal that there is a hell of a lot of 64-bit Windows 7 software out there.
This will be news for those who actually use it because although Windows 7 has some nice bit of 32-bit software backup you can’t get some things, like Flash to run.
Yet according to the figures the 64-bit version of Windows 7 is now second most popular operating system, ran by 19.50 per cent of all Steam Users
Steam has about 25 million users and these are gamers so it is a bit unbalanced when it comes to gamer and home orientated systems.
Obviously XP was the overall winner. But out of 25 million, 4.88 million run 64-bit Win7, almost four percent up from December.
32-bit Vista came in third spot, with 19.09 per cent and the 32-bit version of Windows 7 took the fourth spot, with 9.03 per cent.
The figures show that Windows 7 is gaining ground on Windows XP which is losing market share to the new comer at a rate of two to three percent a month.
