I read Paul Thurrot's column earlier today, he said the same although he mentions it several times that he has not been able to confirm it. Interesting to see what Ballmer says tonight.
Anyway, I believe after CES we know quite a bit more.

Posted this in the VIP forum already, but I thought I would add it here too. They showed off an early version of Win8 today...build number 6.2.7867. No new UI changes yet, just as early versions of Windows 7 looked just like Vista. Can't wait for the leaks to start. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Model #: BRMD10926 OS Windows 8 Pro x64 with WMC CPU AMD FX-4130 Quad 3.8Ghz Motherboard Asus M5A97 R2.0 Memory 8GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600 Graphics Card Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit Sound Card On Board Realtek HD Monitor(s) Displays HP w185e Screen Resolution 1366x768 Keyboard HP Keyboard Mouse Onn optical mouse PSU 500W Case XION XON-180 Cooling Stock Hard Drives WD Raptor 7200 1TB Internet Speed 10Mbps DSL Other Info HP Pavilion p2-1033wb: Win7 Home Premium x64, AMD E-300 APU 1.3 Ghz dual core, 3GB DDR3, 500GB Hitachi HDD |

I watched Ballmer's Keynote speech and MS showed Windows "next version" running on a group of SOC and ARM PC's. They stated the OS was the "next" version but the GUI was Windows 7 so nothing to see. Their main point was that the "next" Windows will be able to run on all types of hardware.

All types of hardware? That sounds a bit... unrealistic. Or is it just me?
