I recently updated the data on 32 and 64 bit windows from the Steam hardware survey here: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Windows-versions The take-home is that about 12 percent of gamers have 32 bit Windows. It's easy to believe business users will use 32-bit more. Also, I believe that the default Windows Python.org installers are 32-bit, at least, that's what the filenames suggest when I try it now.
