I dont have a problem with 32 bit Windows 7 (if they can even run it) but on brand new desktop machines that are already shipping with 3-4 gb of ram?

I guess it all comes down to the hardware. 32 bit is limiting with regards to future hardware upgrades (ie, processors & ram). But unless you're running a quad core system w 4GB of RAM, there's no real *need* for a 64bit OS. Like a netbook for example. However, given that alot of people just don't think about future upgradeability when acquiring an OS, or a system that comes pre-loaded with an OS (which for the most part, is 32bit). It ends up potentially being a cash cow for M$ in the future - when people DO want faster hardware w/ more RAM etc. Nice rant… I guess it all comes down to the hardware. 32 bit is limiting with regards to future hardware upgrades (ie, processors & ram).
