I went to buy light bulbs at Home Depot and learnt from the staff that as of January 2012 no 100-watt incandescent will be manufactured or imported (in US). The deadline for 75-watt will be 2013 and for 40&60-watt will be 2014. So whatever left in stock, that's all we have.
The size of the CFL lamp equivalent to 150-watt incandescent and up might be a problem for some of your home light fixtures due to its size. I got 150-watt lamp and it's about 6" tall. Luckily the fixture I have doesn't have anything on the top.
CFL, Halogen and LED will be the lamps for the next generation.
Looks like the incandescent will be in museums soon.
