Very little about Windows 8 is known other than the leaked slides describing some features which may or may not be apart of Windows 8. Most everything else is just a rumor. Because Microsoft is being so tight-lipped about the next OS, speculation tends to run wild, so take this new rumor with a grain of salt.
An italian website window8italia.com, is reporting that Windows 8 will come with two different desktop UI’s for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows. The 64-bit version is said to be fully 3D and will require a minimum of 170MB of dedicated video memory.
Codenamed “Wind”, the 3D desktop will be fully dynamic and said to adapt to the users habits.

Winrumors notes:
The speculation follows a recent release of NVIDIA’s Quadro 265 driver. The driver specifically references a new kernel with the number 6.2 (Windows 7 is 6.1) and includes references to Windows 8:All of this seems a little far-fetched, but remember, Ballmer did say that Microsoft’s “riskiest product bet’ was the next version of Windows.
