Windows 9 will support 64-bit only
Windows 8 is not even out yet but people have
already started talking about Windows 9. Windows 8 may be available
on Oct 01 this year. Microsoft already announced that Windows 8 will be the
last operating system that will support 32-bit hardware. But it seems pretty
clear that Microsoft has no plans to support 32-bit and legacy code going
forward.
Suthish pointed out on my blog
in a comment about this one blog
talks about what people are saying about Windows 9. As I can say based on where
Microsoft is going with Windows 8, Windows 9 may be the ultimate all in one
operating system for all devices including PCs, tablets and smartphones.
