* Some people see 64-bit programs being installed when they chose the 32-bit version, not sure what exactly the difference is-Jibz (March 20, 2014, 04:11 PM)

Since x64 versions are usually a bit larger than their x86 counterparts, maybe it accounts for 900MB of the download?

^ heh

3rd party plugins for Office are usually written for 32-bit Office versions and these are more than likely useless on a 64-bit Office version. Hence the advice that MS gave when I downloaded Office 2010 way back then.

It was a dig at the size of the download and the fact that x86 versions of (any) programs are generally smaller than their x64 counterparts.

This is exactly the reason for Microsoft's recommendations. 99% of the MS Office plugins available are 32-bit & they will not work with the 64-bit version of Office.
