Thanks to Beyond3D for letting us know that they have slapped up an interview with Epic Games' Tim Sweeney regarding their next Unreal engine. Here's some juice:

Is UnrealEngine3 being created with Longhorn (the codename for Microsoft's next Operating System) in mind?
We expect to ship 32-bit and 64-bit executables on-disc, likely with the highest level of graphical detail that our game supports on PC only be available on 64-bit CPU's running the codename Longhorn OS. We certainly won't require it to run the game, but there are a lot of things we can do based on its key architectural improvements including address space, but not only that.
