ESR 17.0 is also available for download (as is ESR 10.0.11), but the autmatic update mechanism is not offering it as an option (at least not yet), only 10.0.11.
I guess they will let the Quality testing phase to be completed before offering it as an automatic update
You do not say anything about the nature of your applications, if those applications are DOS style (windows vista and onwards are very picky about DOS apps), your best bet is either DosBox, or FreeDos on a VM. Dosbox emulates the whole hardware enchilada, so it may be a tad slower than runing Freedos on a VM, and both solutions run on modern 64 Bit Windows... On the other hand, if your apps are Win16 or Win32, read on:
Even if the windows OS is 32 Bit, having more memory through PAE can have good effects, as each app running will have a full 3.5GB or so address space all for itself. 32 bit versions of Linux had PAE support for years. 32 bit versions of Windows do too, but artificially limits that support in consumer versions, in part as a differentiation tactic, and in part because some drivers do not behave nicely with PAE enabled.
No matter if your processor is 32 or 64 bits, what determines the "32 bitness" of the system is the OS (that is to say, a 32 bit version of the OS will behave as a 32 bit version, even if installed on 64bit HW).
As many posters said, your most cost effective route is to go with XP compatibility mode in a modern (think Windows 7) consumer version of the OS (be that a 32 or 64 bit version of the OS). The problem with XP comaptibility mode is that support for the virtualized copy ends in 2014, so the solution is very short term, and that it runs virtualized, so anything hardware intensive will be slow as molasses.
Is any of those limitations is unacceptable to you, you may run a 32 bit edition of Windows server 2003 (R2) (which is supported until 2023 (2025), give or take), activate PAE to gain access to additional memory, and then fiddle with the settings to make it behave more or less like a workstation if needed be.
If you follow the workstation route, this link may help:

word to the wise: troll the forums for hardware whose drivers play nice with PAE.
The math works, but that doesn't mean I have actual, physical negative frequencies.
2nd: Give me a few (hundred?) years and I'll come up with a mathematical model where the sun, planets and the rest of the universe is circling around the earth.
It wouldn't make sense whatsoever, but mathematically it still would be true.
...No need to waste many years of your life coming up with a mathematical model. The greeks did it "a few" centuries ago (in the 2d century AD, to be a tad more precise).

After you have found the "equal files", you need to decide which one to erase and which ones to keep. For example, let's say that a gif file is part of a web site and is also present in a few other places because you backed it up to removable media which latter got consolidated. If you chose to erase the copy that is part of the website structure, the website will stop working.
Lucky for you, most filesystem implemenations nowadays include the capacity to create symbolic links (in windows, that would be NTFS Symbolic links since vista, and junction points since Win2K, in *nix is the soft hand hard symlinks we know and love, and in mac, the engineers added hard links to whole directories), both hard and soft. So, the solution must not only identify which files are the same, but also, keep one copy, while preserving accesability, this is what makes apple (r)(c)(tm) work so well. You will need a script that, upon identifying equal files, erases all but one, and creates symlinks for ll the erased ones to the surviving one.
Nope, you can not do that.

Having said that, is bollocks that an EFI 32 can not boot a 64 Bit OS. Hell, machines with BIOS, which are mostly written in 16bit ASM code can boot windows and/or linux in 64 bit mode, if the proc allows!
While I am not affected by the cut (Mac Book alumnim unibody late 2008), I can see why many people with powerfull machines are upset. My special sympathies to the Mac Pro users that were left behind, even though their machines can run in 64Bit mode, and they can buy OpenGL 3.0 Video Cards DIRECTLY FROM APPLE.
Those are expensive only by consumer standards. It's cheap compared to regular academic journals.
While that might be true, my regular academic journals are various IEEE magazines (I am an electronics engineer, with minor in CS), and those are of comparable cost to HBR. I mention HBR just as an example of why I will not believe it until I see it, and I know HBR, because I also got an MBA latter on my life, so there was a LOT of HBR reading in 20052007...
If I worked for Norton, I would not be telling people I run ClamXav on my Mac. And I run Windows Security Essentials on my Windows 7 Machines (my folks, actually).
Do not worry about my facebook habits, yes I go there, but httpsEveryWhere, Noscript and AdBlockPlus are my friends too.
Point number 3 hints to trollish behaviour, but, FWIW, I've given you the benefit of the doubt, therefore, this reply.
As for new threats...the last round of Mac malware got right by every antivirus vendor out there, too. By the time the part-time intern that Symantec has working on their Mac version came back from Spring Break and added a definition, Apple itself had finally released a removal tool.
True, and yet, apple released a removal tool, all antiviruses now detect the threat because all the interns are back from spring break, and yet, the botnet keeps going strong and even growing a bit...
What that tells you is that people do not run antivirus, nor do they apply patches...
We teach with example, you know?
No, I did not!

I _think_ you wrote in good humour, so I am replying in kind.
Why should I waste electricity scanning for viruses that can't infect my computer?
Because the cost of that electricity is marginal to the electricity you consume while torrenting huge DVD-ISO Linux distros and LibreOffice and Android source files overnight to help test and debug them...
I know your comment was done in good humour, and I am replying in kind.
Can you explain where you learned maths? I still don't understand how less than 5% of world PC population (nerds) scanning their machines will save the other 95% who don't even know what a virus is?
I learned my maths at Universidad Simón Bolívar, and was very good at them, from calculus (math1), to imaginary numbers in multivariable calculus (math 6). Then along came fourier (math7), and my brain crapped (in reality, I got lazy, really lazy for a while)... but mind you, I eventually recovered, and became an electronics engineer.
Having said that, I wrote: "do it to have a TAD fewer cheap viagra/penis enlargement offers in your spam folder... DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!
Please notice that I said a tad less, not eliminate all, and.. How can you refuse to do something for the children?!?!?! You Monster!!!!
No I do not think that 5% of us nerds will save 95% of all machines, but Macs are ~10% of all PCs globaly (something like 16-20% in the US), and Linux hovers around 5%.
But more worrisome is the effect we enlightened slashdot users have when our less enlightened breathen realizes that we do not do backups, and do not run antivirus, and guess what, neither will they... and when their machines crap out.. who are they gonna call? Well not the ghostbusters, but you and me!
I know your post was done in good humour, so I am replying in kind.
Yes, that's why I checked for the presence of the virus using the command line instructions given by many antivirus firms, and was ready to carry out the manual elimination instructions, if needed be.
Lucky for me, I use safe practices when browsing the net/downloading programs, so I was not infected. The point is, even when you _think_ your practices are safe, and even if you _think_ your platform is less susceptible to virus/trojans/worms, you still need antivirus and firewalls as part of those safe practices, do not kid yourself.
As a service to your brethren, could you let us know the hit rates from Clam on your Mac?
1. In files only available to your Mac
2. In files shared between Mac and Windows (VM/Boot camp etc.)
3. Viruses that can affect your Mac
4. Viruses that you are just a carrier for.
On all four counts, the number is 0.
All I've got up until now is false positives from the days of yore, when I used MS-DOS, and was interested in viruses and anti-viruses
Remember things like Flu-Shot plus, the pakistani virus and it's remover programs, or the ping-pong virus and it's removal programs? All safely tucked away in a folder named dviej (oldhdd in English) from the time of my DTK-286 with amber monitor and Ati Wonder (not EGAwonder, not VGAwonder, just plain wonder) card, MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.0.
I set exceptions for that folder on all my windows machines (from my DEC Starion 700i, then my Thinkpad i series, then my Toshiba), but in the MAC, I got lazy about it, so, as ClamAV's signature files refine, I finds more and more of this legacy code, and let ClamXav erase the files, since I realize I have no use for them anymore.
The last time I was hit by a virus, was in 1996, it ate my hard drive, and my thesis with it, lucky me, I had backups on my paralel port Travan Tape Drive, so, all that was lost was a day of work (to restore) + 1 day of updates on the thesis docs...
And that's the other lesson, have good backups!
I know my Mac is less susceptible to virus/trojans/worms, I also use safe practices when browsing/downloading files, but nonetheless, I do not kid myself thinking that this alone is enough, so, on top of that, I run an Antivirus, have the SW firewall enabled, and run a firewall on my AP.
... I see Harvard's owm publications, like, for instance, the Harvard Business review, become OpenAccess too...
You see, those are real cash cows, and probably cost the Harvard library nothing, so, most harvard authors will keep publishing there, costing other universities a bundle.... So much for Open Access.
Don't get me wrong, I hope this becomes true, and helps, but I have become a tad jaded...
Just my two cents.
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
