I'm sure we could find the same kind of thing for every country you listed, these were just the ones I could remember from the top of my head

For a home based, personnal use, less-than-ten-years-old computer this is a non issue - at least with seven x64. It detects pretty much everything by itself, and if not you can use the vista x64 drivers. Sure you can find hardware with no x64 drivers whatsoever and I'm certain someone is going to reply to tell me how wrong I am because his 5 years old serial port thing which barely made it in 32 bit stop him from upgrading, but for joe user bying a new computer installing windows x64 would be painless*.

I think they will have way more trouble understanding what is that UAC thing is and "what the hell is a standard account anyway".

* actually and to be honest, that wouldn't be entirely painless thanks to the absurd number of softwares who require to install some kind of shell extension yet forget to provide a 64 bit version. But hey at least that's not a driver issue !

Parent never said the 32 bits version of these had problems, he said there weren't any windows 64 bits builds (aka; binaries that are natively 64 bits, not 32 bits run through wow64).

Fixed that for you.

Low demand and high return rate aren't the same thing

Doesn't take a genius to figure it out ... President Of The United States

Oh it's much more simpler than that. It's Nicolas Sarkozy trying to be king.
The guy even put this law into emergency procedures without any good reason, to make sure the final vote occurs before the European's one, so that France does not technically pass a law the EU forbids.
In case you're wondering: yes, he's doing the same thing in every aspect of french law he touches.
