64 bit warning.

[Martyimac]

Everywhere I read about where HS is supposed to be warning users when they start a program that is 32 bit that their program may not be supported in upcoming versions.
Has anybody actually seen one of these warnings?
I have tried 3 different ones so far and not one of them prompted the 32 bit warning.

I have indeed.

supposedly, Apple's 32 bit apps, of which there are many, don't get this warning.

I'm currently experiencing a glitch that prevents the app from launching on non-admin accounts. Works fine as admin. (Yes permissions are correct)

Right now, this is "nothing more than a warning".
The 32-bit stuff will still run fine.

It will continue to run fine until the required June updates. If you update the app ( or rather attempt to update the app ) it will fail.

WRONG.

With "Rosetta", Apple made a huge and admirable effort to transit from G-procs. to Intel.
I'm not tech savy, but I suppose it will be much easier to virtualise a 32bit machine in a 64bit system in order to run legacy apps. (?)
That would mean there'll always be a way to run 32bit apps... with Apple's o third party tool.
Am I wrong?

From what Apple have said, it sounds like you will be able to run 32bit Apps in the next version of Mac OS. But there will be compromises. It wouldn't surprise me if they have something like the Classic environment (which they had when moving to OSX), where the App basically runs inside an earlier version of Mac OS. Although even if they don't you would always run them inside something like VirtualBox/VMWare.

Fair enough.
