What is better when installing windows 7 on a Mac the 32 or 64 bit software?
It is almost always better to install the 64-bit version of an operating system when the processor supports it. The only reasons to install the 32-bit version of Windows 7 would be if your Mac only has a 32-bit processor (only the 2006 Mac Minis and early 2006 iMacs had 32-bit processors), or if you need to run 16-bit Windows or DOS applications.

Why is 16 bit windows software considered to be legacy software?
Because no one makes programs that run in 16 bits anymore. Now they make 32 bit programs, and even some 64 bit. There are rumors of the soon to come 128 bit, but that isn't here yet. So while a 16 bit windows may run fine, none of the programs anyone uses would run on it. It is, therefore, legacy. OR 16-bit Windows software is considered to be legacy software because it is software written for DOS or Windows 3.x and data is accessed 16 bits at a time, whereas computers running Windows 2000 or later OSs use 32-bit or 64-bit programs written to be able to access 32 or 64 bits of data at a time.
