Speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s CEO, described what some are calling “Windows 8″ (OK, everyone is calling it that but the CEO himself, who referred to it as “the next generation of Windows”), according to the Forward Thinking blog from PC Mag.com.

Ballmer highlighted some of the planned features of Windows 8, saying that it “would support ARM-based chips from Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments; as well as traditional and SOC versions of chips from Intel and AMD” and will run “on ARM-based chips for the first time (as well as on x86 cores from Intel and ARM).”
