Going to 64 bits will be trivial compared to going to 64 way for Microsoft.

why do you say that? Maybe there will be particular issues for
applications to make use of all those CPUs but I don't see why it would
be such a big deal for the OS kernel scheduler.

IMHO, 64-bits is much harder considering the Win32 API.


Scalability primarily judging from the experience of the other OS vendors.
