Regarding the indication that 0.93 supports the 32-bit architecture, we are working on fixing the website.

Is there any reason you don't build a 32-bit offline-only version of Armory on Windows?? I think considering people usually use old PC's for offline wallets this might make sense, and the security argument isn't very relevant if the PC is not even connected to the network (the biggest attack factor IMHO is autorun, and Armory could have an option to disable it; that would be neat!)

On a similar topic, I installed the 32-bit Linux version on a 32-bit laptop after upgrading my bitcoin "safe" to Wheezy (downloaded using the secure downloader and double-verified using existing sigs on the offline laptop)... Works great, but now I'm looking at the download page and I see no 32 bit version there. As expected s/64/32/ on the download link works but why is it not even showing up there?

Ok, this last one is really getting me offtopic, but talking about offline features, what I'd like to see is an intuitive way to launch the install on the offline wallet... maybe a signed package that you can extract with Armory? The reason is simple: when I download Armory from the online computer, even with the secure downloaded, how can I trust Armory hasn't been infected with malware so it downloads and validate a malicious version? And if the offline computer is truly offline, then it's still my only choice -- well at least for the common user that never used gpg command-line Wink
