Things I would like to see in Windows 8 – Part 8 – 64 bit only

OK folks..
It’s finally time for us to move to the next level of processing – 64 bit.
PC’s are cheap enough, RAM is cheap enough.
By 2011/2012, we should be able to come together and agree that the age of 32 bit processing has come to an end.
Having said that, Microsoft will need to develop features that take advantage of the optimized processing that a 64 bit processor and way more ram can give you.
I run Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with 8 gigs of RAM and I have to say that being able to open as many applications as I want with no concern for performance degradation is a good feeling.
That’s my take.
What do you guys and gals think?

This is true. I am over 32 bit and this situation where we are in between full 64 bit adoption and 32 bit.
We need to move forward…
[...] had written about how I thought it was time for Microsoft to go 64 bit only with the next version of Windows – Windows [...]
we need to move forward but they need to get rid of all of the f'in bug that crash the windows system because I have a 64 bit system and it will randomly crash and i spent hard earned money on this software and its really annoying that it crashes
I strongly disagree,Windows 7 x64 is more stable than any x86 system I've ever used. Not even a single crash after 2 years almost of heavy everyday usage. And,as long as this article goes,I completely agree. 32 bit era is WAY over.
you know i hope it will be 64 bit only. that way they can focus on 64 bit drivers and apps. also i would like them to release a hole new file system based on a new kernel. ntfs is just way to old no matter what versions of ntfs is released. Microsoft has been depending on this file system for a while now and they need to move on. how they expect for new possibility to be emerged onto them if they cant create a new file system. creating a new file system = new possibilities.

Do not get rid of the 32 bit computers. i have computers running both and it is more stable then xp even in 32 bit computers if anything 32 bit is more compatible. I have a computer built for windows 98 that with extra ram, it’s 700mhz processor and its 640mb ram can run 7 faster then XP.
How are you evening running 7 at all on 700mhz and 640mb of RAM? Looks like it's time to buy a new PC. Every Windows 7 capable computer in my house is capable of running an x86_64 arch.
