re: 2. With respect to your overview, Company A has decided to break from the past and produce "automobiles" (i.e 32/64-bit product) while Company B remains content in producing "horse drawn buggies",(i.e. 32-bit-only product) because it has always been the safe thing to do

Wrong. Company A decided to produce autos before Company C (Microsoft) had tires on the market, forcing the majority of purchasers of autos from Company A to run on the rims.

Meanwhile, Company B made preparations to introduce their autos with tires, concurrent with the release of same from Company C. Then Company B decided, "what the heck, with all the hoopla over these consumers running their autos from Company A on the rims, we may as well go ahead and release our autos with tireless rims. If these people are crazy enough to run without tires, we may as well make a few bucks off them before they kill themselves."

.... Hey, it's your silly analogy!
