Windows 8 runs many 32-bit XP-compatible programs just fine. If they phased out 32-bit compatibility, it would be dead to many corporate clients out of the box. (It needs emulation for legacy 16-bit applications.)
I can actually vouch for the fact that it can run Access 2003 natively -- needed for a certain legacy database that I was dealing with.
