Reports are circulating that a Microsoft researcher's LinkedIn profile 
(since deleted) said he was "working to get IA-128 working backwards 
with full binary compatibility on the existing IA-64 instructions in the 
hardware simulation to work for Windows 8 and definitely Windows 9.”

Doesn't sound like file-system work to me. :-)
