Software (read Microsoft) has been lagging behind hardware for a long time here. There are some real advantages to 64 and 128 bit OS other than RAM addressing. But I don't think the programmers are there yet. Programmers want to write in high level languages and compile. Justifiably so, but you cannot stay up with leading edge hardware waiting for new generations of compilers before you write your code.
If no one writes better 128 bit code a 128 bit OS will simply address a ton of ram, no more.
