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.

Do you need it? no... do scientists with small grants who might want to buy a eight core 128 bit processor to run high precision modeling software with in a reasonable budget want it? sure. Rendering farms in Hollywood? Military? Those in the chip industry interested in unifying the instruction space? Absolutely.
Will the mom and pop end user see any real benefit? not really but so what?
