ON the Way back machine we had System and System32. System32 came
about in Windows 3.1 if memory serves to separate where 16 and 32 bit
are placed. This time MS around is not doing that System32 is being
used for 64bit apps and SysWoW64 is where all the legacy 32 bits at
getting stuck.

32 bit apps in a directory with 64 in its name, and 64 bit apps in
directory thats intention was/is 32bit apps =-O
