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.

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.
