Wait,is there going to be a new os like os "y" when all the intel's come out?
Guess that would be something like OS XI (OS 11), as OS X means, and is read, as OS "10", not OS "X" (like the letter X).
My roman numbering might be a bit rusty, but I can't recall Y being a roman number...
64bit is the future, in general for all platforms. It is the next logical step forward.
Though if we take game consoles as example, the next big step might be a very different one...
The Sega Dreamcast had a 128bit (!!) CPU, while the newer and definitely more performant Xbox has only a 32bit CPU (Intel PIII).
So maybe someday, we might get back to 8bit?! Who knows...
