End of 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows 8?

According to  reports, according to Microsoft's latest statistics show that ended in June 2010, holds a 64-bit Windows 7 Windows 7 has reached the proportion of the overall share of 46%, while the proportion of 32-bit Windows 7, compared with 54%. The above facts clearly show that the operating system Microsoft Windows 7 to open a new era, 64-bit operating system has gradually won people unprecedented attention and high regard.
Microsoft said that at present, 64-bit Windows 7 has gradually become the mainstream, and as time pushed passed away, 32-bit Windows 7 will be eliminated by history.
Then, with the 32-bit operating system, phasing out gradually into the mainstream 64-bit, Microsoft's next operating system, the version of Windows 8 will be how to evolve it? In accordance with current market conditions, Microsoft has the following two options: # 1, as the same as Windows Vista and Windows 7, Microsoft is able to introduce 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 8; # 2, giving up 32-bit versions of Windows 8, the direct introduction of 64-bit versions of Windows 8.
Obviously, for Microsoft, the first is a relatively safe choice, while the second is a relatively bold move.
June 2010, using Windows XP 64-bit operating system, compared to just 1% of users, while 64-bit Windows Vista operating system user ratio is 11%. In other words, that is, So far, the market still has 99% of Windows XP users and 89% of users are running Windows Vista 32-bit operating system. Currently, Windows 7 availability, only 8 months. Just at that more than eight months, the market has become more common 64-bit systems, but 32-bit architecture will become obsolete. In fact, in addition to outside individuals, OEM manufacturers have finally started to use 64-bit Windows 7 operating system, some of which are already full line of consumer products line will be introduced to the 64-bit field. NPD data show that in April 2010, the United States 77% of the retail PC market has been in use 64-bit Windows 7 operating system, we can see into the embrace of 64-bit computing is no longer merely the end consumer. World-renowned analyst Gartner predicts that by 2014 about 75% of the global business world will abandon the 32-bit computer operating system, all using 64-bit operating system, which note is the Recently, Intel moved to the 64-bit computing environment to take advantage of people could access to features such as large amounts of memory to more than 4GB of support and additional system security benefits. Microsoft's Windows client communications team manager Brandon LeBlanc, said, as I mentioned before, through our hardware manufacturers and software manufacturers to work together, 64-bit architecture has become As a mainstream trend. In view of this, Microsoft Windows 8 will not contain 32-bit operating system version? In accordance with Microsoft's current plans, the company will be made public in mid-2012, the official version of Windows 8, which is That will be released summer 2011 the first Windows 8 Beta. Then, we can know Microsoft's Windows 8 version of the plan. I think that if 64-bit Windows 7 users adoption rate could in accordance with the current trend, then Microsoft is likely to give up the launch plans for 32-bit Windows 8.
