188w ago - Microsoft's Windows 7 isn't arriving until the October 22nd, however, details have surfaced over the weekend that indicate Windows 8 will come with 128-bit support.
This information was derived from
Robert Morgan's
LinkedIn Profile (Google cache), who is a senior research and development engineer at Microsoft.
Needless to say, the information has now been removed from his profile.
To quote: In it, he says he's "working in high security department for research and development involving strategic planning for medium and longterm projects."
He goes on to say his R&D projects include: "128-bit architecture compatibility with the Windows 8 kernel and Windows 9 project plan." He's also responsible for "forming relationships with major partners: Intel, AMD, HP and IBM.
A 128-bit version of Windows 8 would represent the next leap in performance. According to Microsoft's plans to release a new desktop version of Windows every three years, Windows 8 is scheduled to become available in 2012."
Your gonna have to give us more info, what CFW are you on?...
I agree with the above post. We should get used to Windows 7 before we even think about the next OS from Microsoft.
I just hope that SQL 2005 will be compatible since most applications I run and support have not migrated to SQL 2008.
128Bit Remember when hardware couldn't keep up with the software, those day's are over for now it seems.
