well considering vista still has bugs in the 64bit version and 64bit isnt fully utilised yet, 128bit would just be a waste of time, money and resources. (im assuming u mean the next windows operating system for home and business use like xp and vista, not server editions etc)
There is no 128 bit OS for at least the next10-20 years. Theoritically 64 bit allows for 2^64 kb of memory, that's 17592186044416 GB of memory.matrixian
64-bit is the final solution, at least for the lifetime of everyone reading this post today. It will be a LONG time before we run out of memory address space.
Might as well settle in and get used to 64-bit, it's possible we will never see a 128-bit OS, kind of disturbing huh :shock:
"Suffice it to say that we won't be running out of physical or virtual address space on 64-bit operating systems for the forseeable future. It's the final solution, at least for the lifetime of everyone reading this blog post today"

how old are u? like 50? cause i don't think it'll be that long before we require ram like that. yes it'll take probably 30-40 years but thats not in our lifetime lol :p unless we all die in a war or car accident or some fetal injuries lol :P except that you'll probably see one.
DOS has basically been the forerunner for almost all of the 16-bit era, and Microsoft only started to provide proper 32-bit computing support with Windows 95. And we've only started seeing 64-bit support in Windows with XP x64 and a 64-bit build of Server 2003.
In short, it will be a long time before a move to 128-bit computing will be justified, if even necessary.
