Windows 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.

WTF?

Dude.... try reading my comment.

MOST programs do not need it.... SPECIALIZED ones do... video editing programs ARE specialized and certainly fall outside the scope of the MOST qualifier.

but even casual users are interested in video editing. This isn't some obscure technical application that only 5 people are interested in.

It is still a specialized application space!!!

Do you have a comprehension issue? I am making the argument that we need 64 bit computing to deal with the memory issue of 32 bit processing. I was simply explaining the problem domain to the fool who thinks 32 bit is fine and dandy for normal users.
