Windows 8: Possible Screenshots And Info On A 128-Bit OS

Could This Be The Next Generation Of Windows Operating System?

Robert Morgan, a senior research and development member employed by Microsoft, recently leaked information on his LinkedIn profile on what could potentially be the next generation Windows operating system.  Since the information was leaked, Robert's LinkedIn profile has not so surprisingly been removed, but not before the information was circulated. 

I had the unique privilege to beta test the Windows 7 pre-released OS nearly a year before it was available in stores and am enticed by the concept of such a massive leap from a 32 and 64-bit Windows 7 to a 128-bit Windows 8 OS. 

Interestingly enough, both Windows 7 and Macintosh's latest 10.6.3 Snow Leopard do seem to be designed with a faster, more spacious future super computer in mind.  If the Windows 8 leak is accurate, we're likely  to see  untold advances in Microsoft's next OS!

The Windows 8 project has been confirmed as underway by Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's chief executive officer, but won't be available anytime before 2012.

If past history is any guide,

If past history is any guide, and in this case it's almost infallible, whatever will be in Windows 8 will appear in the next Apple OS and do it first, better, and faster. Staring with the first release of Windows (remember that disaster) Microsoft has done little but play catch up with Apple. Usually several years behind and a poor imitation at that. (Win 95 1.0, Millennium, Vista) I see no trend to do otherwise. Apple's star keeps rising and Microsoft's is daily more tarnished.

Wait... what hardware

Wait... what hardware platform are they targeting? I'm unaware of any 128-bit CPUs out there yet...
