64 Bit CPU and 32Bit OS/Apps

Hi, I know the answer, but just to clafiry it for some other people.

Is it true that a 64Bit CPU can:

1: Run a 32bit Operating System
2: Run a 32bit applications
3:In a 64Bit OS such as Windows XP 64Bit, 32apps are ran in some sort of subsystem?

4: Also Its illigal for Microsoft to take over someone computer right?

1+2: yes, you can run 32-bit OS and software on a 64-bit system.
3: I dunno
4: Yeah I think so. But no big companies would take any action, because M$ has the money for a good lawyer.

A 64-bit CPU can run 32-bit apps in either hardware, with 32-bit hardware support, or through software support, if the CPU is exclusively 64-bit, like Intel’s Itainium.

The x86-64 bit CPU’s from Intel and AMD are 32-bit and 64-bit simutaneously in the hardware itself.

Microsoft takes over someone computer=Hacking>Hacking=illegal.

Im sure that the obove statement would hold true in any court of law. I think:)

[COLOR=“Teal”]Yes you can.

[COLOR=“Teal”]I think so, because most of the chat system used still used lower bit rate.

[COLOR=“Teal”]Its illigal. But most of the compay not get any legal action against you because all the stuff like hacking point out new requirment on security, etc

[COLOR=“Teal”]Most of the countries don’t have any rules to govern illegal IT related resources. That’s why there people sold WinXP Pro around half a dollar.
