"640K ought to be enough for anybody." Bill Gates, 1981. "64 bit is coming to desktops,there is no doubt about that, But apart from Photoshop, I can't think of desktop applications where you would need more than 4 gigabytes of physical memory, which is what you have to have in order to benefit from this technology." It seems to me that by the time it ships, Longhorn will need 4 gigs of RAM.

OK, the timeline wasn't the best idea. But the main point is still good. A gap of 5 years (XP 2001, LH 2006) is a long, long time in the computer business.
Development of Windows 2000 began in 1995. It was released in December 1999... approximately 5 years as well. This is nothing new for Microsoft.
