32 and 64bit are two different platforms, and the 32bit programs run in a
64bit environment have to be treated differently, hence the two folders.
As Malke suggested to you, people should read up on the 'benefits' of 64bit
before blindly assuming that it is just a generally faster version of 32bit
(which it isn't incidentally).
