Although many Windows 7 users are content with the OS, many of us are gearing up for another release of a Microsoft Windows version, Windows 8. The user interface is said to have been codenamed as “Wind” as well. At least according to the reports. Although many are still digging in on the features of the next generation of Windows there isn’t any certainty as of yet. The following are a list of rumors about the next Windows operating system: Windows 8 will be 32 / 64 bit and have two user interfaces. The main interface (codenamed Wind) will require a dedicated video card and 170 MB of video memory and will be meant for high-end desktop computers and notebooks only. Wind interface will only activate on 64 bit version of Windows 8 copies and will have complete 3D capability. What has been learned from the information is that the next generation of Windows will have a dynamic user-interface which will adapt to users’ habits, adjusting icons, shortcuts as per your usage plus a much quicker hibernate function. It will auto save all your documents and will go on hibernate mode in less than 6 seconds as well. This is of course a rumor but there are hints that make this rumor believable by all means. A new kernel was discovered within the driver that is assigned for 6.2. For Windows 7, it was 6.1 and if Steve Ballmer and the team hasn’t done some restructuring with these references, Windows 8 will be packing some heat. Expect some beta releases for Windows 8 in 2011, which Ballmer has described to be the riskiest release to date. We can definitely understand that given that Microsoft is heading over to a more cloud based approach in the upcoming release of the operating system. We will have to see what awaits us in the future and how the product does in the market upon its release. Hopefully Windows 8 is earlier than 2012 as anticipated.
