This just isn't accurate when you're talking about users who run Debian.
I wish people would quit touting this as true for our userbase- it
isn't. The architecture as a whole has that advantage for *winbloze*
users and all their not-64bit-clean-or-even-complied code. The same is
not true about Debian.
