It takes additional time to download the app, which is a cost of users' timeĤ. It takes additional effort to support dual mode apps as the number of working parts can break, which is a cost of my and other forum users' timeģ. It takes more time to download both versions and package it, which is a cost of my timeĢ. If you're specifically looking for the costs, I'll lay them out here:ġ. The details were laid out in the 64-bit Software: Where It Fits Into Portable Apps post. For my own particular use, it's all 64-bit.Īnyway, your house, your rules, sir. Unless you're looking at the metrics and seeing a bunch of XP users on 32-bit CPUs. What if, instead you offered 64-bit apps with a 32-bit download feature? For those with 32-bit systems, the PA wrapper would then just download the 32-bit mode? I bet if you split 32-bit and 64-bit downloads, the traffic would favor 64-bit a lot more. I find it confusing that with most CPUs being 64-bit now that there's a question as to whether or not to support 64-bit in this dual mode. 32GB is a hidden Xbox360 folder with Rockband songs, I could let go of that at any time, I just have no reason to free it up. It was 500GB when I got mine and that's more than enough. Not to mention the 'basic' WD MyPassport, at around $60, is 1TB now. If it's disk space of the user, 64GB and 128GB flash drives are pretty affordable now. Is there a cost for PA.c hosting these files on SourceForge, that the cost of having a larger VLC, or Chrome, package would be higher? If so then that's completely understandable. Hope you and yours find yourselves well this new year.) I'm wondering what the cost is, Mr Haller, adopting user JarC's side in this issue.
