Maybe virtualization can do something for Microsoft in the next version. Imagine DOS, Win16, .net and Win32 running inside virtual machines, connecting to the user interface (like apps on Linux or apps in seamless Citrix), while the core OS is 64-bit only. It would probably reduce Microsoft R&D costs a lot, especially if they announce, that Win64 apps and drivers will not be binary compatible between different versions of Windows (they will need recompiles). Only drawback is the loss of performance, but they are not leaders in that anyway.
