Windows 8: 128-bit Operating System?

[javajolt]

We haven’t yet seen the official release for Windows 7, however there is already talk about a new Microsoft Windows 8 Operating System, one rumor is that Windows 8 will support the 128-bit architecture.

It was originally thought that Windows 8 would be 64-bit only, however according to a developer it seems a natural progression to support a degree of 128-bit thus making Windows 9 a natural progression to fully support the 128-bit architecture.

Obviously at the moment all of this information is based on statements made by a developer, however if we hear any more details confirming/refuting these statements we will keep you posted.

Personally I still don’t think Microsoft have fully unlocked the potential of 64-bit software, until they do I do not think they should move on to a 128-bit architecture, for more info check out SlashGear.
