Anyone know if 8 will finally provide high resolution modes  
(including widescreen) for the console? Perhaps using a framebuffer  
like linux which allows native LCD resolutions instead of the old  
archaic 80x25 text modes?

I don't install X and everything is done in the system consoles.

This would be nice in 1386/AMD64.
