    I have found a couple of links, but they just end up being windows 7. looks to be a myth to me.

    Windows 8 hasn't reached beta yet. There have been a number of leaked builds, the most recent being Milestone 3 (build 7989). This build was 64-bit, but there have been 32-bit versions leaked too. There are rumours that Windows 8 will reach beta in September (in time for the BUILD conference) and RTM in April 2012, based on how the Windows 7 public beta was build 7000.

    Microsoft have said that "all computers running Windows 7 will be able to run Windows 8" which indeed implies that a 32-bit version will be released.

    Windows 8 isn't even in the beta stage yet so any leaked versions can be very unstable and should not be used on mission-critical PCs. :)
