Next version of Windows to be 'fundamentally different' Tech news blog - CNET News.com:
"CORONADO, Calif.--Future versions of Windows will have to be 'fundamentally different' in order to take advantage of multicore processors, according to Ty Carlson of Microsoft.
'You're going to see in excess of 8, 16, 64 and beyond processors on your client computer,' said Carlson, director of technical strategy at Microsoft, during a panel discussion at the Future in Review conference. Windows Vista, on the other hand, is 'designed to run on 1, 2, maybe 4 processors,' he said, referring to the fact that quad-core processors are now available from Intel and are on the way from Advanced Micro Devices."
