Does the Microsoft Office executable file even come in a 64bit package? It's not Ubuntu's or Wine's fault


Office has been 64bit for 9 years. And this year it's the default.


Almost all Windows installers are 32-bit, even if the application installed is 64-bit. This is so the installer can do something elegant when run on a 32-bit-only system. While this might be changing, 32-bit support is effectively required for almost every Windows application ever released.
