"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.

I think you've overlooked something important in the key points for your article.
Windows 3.x/9x/ME were a completely seperate code base from what was NT/2000/XP.
So when you look at the dates of release, you see it is more around the 4 years or so mark between major releases. XP however can't really be included as its essentially 2000 with a prettier interface. (hence version no. 5.1)
