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.

Well, there's something sad and true in your comment.
I'm affraid that we'll be completely forced to use the alternatives - whatever it would be [I'm not especially sad about this vision, I just get the impression, that we will loose some of other alternatives, read: Microsoft Windows in favor of *nix-based systems].

Yep, they will need 128bits for Windows 8.
Think not?
Just wait until you have seen the memory requirements just to get the damn thing to boot.
