Microsoft has been thinking about Windows 8 for a while now even through the production of Windows 7. Some information has been gathered by our friends over at Ars, and all of this said information points to possible 128-bit versions of Windows 8 and definite 128-bit versions of Windows 9. Update: Other technophiles better-versed than I in this whole 64/128-bit business pointed out that it must be for the filesystem (such as ZFS described in this article) rather than the processor and memory scheme.

Is this an april fools joke in october?
32bit and 64bit so far measured the size of the address space = the size of the main memory which can be addressed by applications.
64bit already allows for 16 exabytes of memory! In fact current cpus only have 48 wires for addresses as that is really enough for everything possible today.
So 128bit for the next windows version doesn't make any sense to me...
