Gates was way wrong but I'll stick by my own comment, at least for my 
own lifetime.  On more reflection I think the comment about the number 
of atoms in the universe is likely more true for 128 bits.  OK, I guess 
there'll be another addressability jump somewhere down the road.  But I 
don't think I'll be here to see it.  :-)
