Example of operating systems that are so called 32-bit are Windows 95 or 98, and Windows NT Server or Workstation 3.51 or 4.0. On the these operating systems (OS) applications or software programs, that are designed to utilize all specific benefits and features are called 32-bit applications. The generation before that of operating systems on the Intel platform where so called 16-bit. Windows 3.11 or 3.1 and DOS are examples of that.

Administration

The less administration needed to run them as well as how easy they are to use are very important. A software that are hard to administrate won't be used at all or will only cost more in the long run due to third party support.
