It already basically was before netbooks came and turned the clock back. :-(

Yeah, they're a huge step backwards (and not just for 64-bit computing, but
also for CPU speed, RAM, disk space (especially where SSDs are used instead
of the traditional HDDs) and LCD pixel counts (as a result of compactness,
but this breaks many apps who have been assuming that the 640×480 era was
long past and that 800×600 was the bare minimum – the original plan for KDE
4 was even to require 1024×768!)).

Huh? What low-end desktops? All the current desktop CPUs are 64-bit. Even
the desktop versions (not the netbook versions) of the Atom are. There may
be some mini-desktops with netbook CPUs, but those aren't really the
standard desktops.
