We are looking toward Windows 12 and what have new features in there. Date release on year 2024 is not correct, instead move in year 2025 (between July - October).

For any fresh news will be on top only and old news will move down to bottom. I have to shrink old news to save space when use spoiler codes like this:
for this example
We can hunt down on Windows 12 news when come out on internet anytime and post here for more info. B-)

Windows 12: Expected Release Date, Latest News & Prices


https://www.techopedia.com/windows-12-release-date-latest-news-leaks-prices


by Technology Journalist Franklin Okeke
Fact Checked by Eddie Wrenn
Updated on 13 August 2024


Microsoft has been caught up in a romance with generative AI. So, it’s no surprise that our attention may have been pulled away from the traditional cycle of its Windows releases.

But the windows of industry continue, and while Microsoft might not adhere exactly to its former three-year major OS update schedule, we are not far away from the release of Windows 12, expected in 2025.

We have one more revision of Windows 11 to come first — Windows 11 24H2, which will bring HDR background support, Wi-Fi 7, and artificial intelligence features — but Microsoft HQ in Redmond is deep into Windows 12 territory.

In this article, we’ll explore everything we know so far about Windows 12, from its potential release date and pricing to its rumored features and system requirements.


Key Takeaways

Windows 12 is expected to be released in Fall 2025, based on Microsoft’s typical release cycles.
AI capabilities are anticipated to be a major focus in Windows 12, building on the AI features introduced in the Windows 11 update.
Windows 12 may reintroduce ads in the Start menu, following the recent introduction (and subsequent removal) of ads in a Windows 11 update.
Hardware requirements for Windows 12 are likely to be more demanding than previous versions, requiring faster CPUs, more RAM, solid-state drives, and graphics cards compatible with DirectX 12 or later for a better run.
While Microsoft may offer Windows 12 as a free upgrade for existing Windows 11 or 10 users, new purchases are likely to follow a pricing structure similar to Windows 11.


When is Windows 12 Being Released?

Estimated Launch: July-October 2025
Windows 12 is expected to be released in July to October 2025.

Original estimates considered 2024 to be the year until Microsoft announced Windows 11 24H2. Based on the company’s previous release playbook, a release date in Q3 aligns with Microsoft’s traditional launch windows.

Other than Windows Vista, every major OS launch has happened in October, or occasionally September. Perhaps Fall season is a lucky charm for Microsoft?


New Windows 12 Features

AI the Focal Point of Windows 12?


Microsoft has never been shy about its intention to bring artificial intelligence capabilities to its Windows OS. So, we don’t expect this to change in Windows 12.

Building on the foundation laid by Windows 11’s 23H2 update, which introduced Microsoft Copilot to Windows, and going deeper with the upcoming 24H2, Windows 12 is likely to have been built with AI right at the center.

Copilot has already demonstrated its ability to provide a more personalized and efficient experience, and future updates could further enhance its ability to control and interact with the PC. However, it’s not been a smooth run, with Microsoft’s idea to automatically screenshot users’ machines getting instant pushback.

Windows 11 24H2, coming soon, also includes a better version of HDR support, additional compression tools in Windows Explorer, and eagerly anticipated Wi-Fi 7 support, so we can expect these features to be baked in to Windows 12.

One potential area of improvement is the expansion of AI-powered search capabilities, similar to those seen in Windows 11’s Taskbar, where users can easily use the search icon to look up content across Microsoft 365.

Additionally, the Recommended section in File Explorer, which suggests files and folders based on user behavior, could be further refined and expanded with better AI algorithms.


Another likely integration is to suggest user actions using a virtual assistant that can anticipate user needs and provide recommendations accordingly. Just please, not Clippy 2.0.


Will Ads Return to Windows 12 Start Menu?

Microsoft recently released a Windows 11 update that introduced ads in the Start menu. While they’ve removed this feature, there are still concerns that it might become a permanent addition in future versions, including Windows 12.

The ads, displayed in the Recommended section, promote Microsoft Store apps from a select group of developers, aiming to facilitate app discovery. While this update may enhance user experience, it remains to be seen whether Start menu ads will become a standard feature in future Windows versions.


What Hardware Will I Need to Run Windows 12?

While Microsoft has not revealed its Windows 12 system requirements, we can make some educated guesses based on current trends and technological advancements.

Firstly, due to AI-laden features expected to come with the new Windows, it’s likely that users will require nothing less than 1 gigahertz (GHz) in CPU speed, a 64-bit processor, with 2 or more cores, a minimum of 4-8 GB of RAM with 16 GB or more to run Windows 12.

In terms of storage, a solid-state drive (SSD) will be the preferred choice, given its faster read and write speeds compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). A minimum of 256 GB of storage will likely be required, with 512 GB or more recommended for users with large file collections.

Graphics requirements will likely be more demanding, with a minimum graphics card that is compatible with DirectX 12 (DX12) or later.


Will There Be Different Versions of Windows 12?

Similar to its predecessors, Windows 12 is likely to come in Home and Pro versions, perhaps with different aliases. This will cater to the preferences of end consumers and high-end users. So, it should not come as a surprise if Microsoft decides to version Windows 12 according to this classification.

We can also expect varying levels of features, security, and support in the versions as we currently have in Windows 11.


Windows 12 Price

Free Upgrade & Premium Options?


With many software releases following a subscription model, it’s not out of place to wonder if Microsoft would come up with a Windows 12 subscription model rather than its current license purchase model.

It’s safe to assume that Microsoft will offer Windows 12 as a free optional upgrade for Windows 11 users, but likely a paid upgrade for Windows 10.

For those who wish to purchase a standalone copy of Windows 12, Microsoft will likely follow the pricing pattern on its Windows 11.

If this becomes the case, we can expect Windows 12 Home to cost more than the $139 currently charged for Windows 11 Home. Windows 12 Pro could cost around $199.99 or more.

This pricing structure is consistent with Microsoft’s previous releases, and it’s likely that Windows 12 will follow suit.


The Bottom Line

If you’re a Windows user or enthusiast, the possibility of having more AI functions to tinker with in a new Windows could be exciting. While details are scarce on Microsoft’s plans for a future Windows operating system iteration, what we do know is that the tech giant consistently strives to innovate and improve user experience with each new version and we look forward to an official Windows 12 preview.

And with AI lurking around every software, there is no reason not to expect more of it when the official Windows 12 release hits the news.

But beyond AI, Microsoft will likely aim to optimize performance, improve security features, and ensure seamless compatibility with apps as they forge ahead with the future of their flagship product.

And no, we have no suggestions about what the Windows 12 logo looks like yet.


FAQs

When is Windows 12 coming out?


While Microsoft has not officially announced a release date, rumors and speculation suggest that Windows 12 will likely be released between July and October 2024.


Will Microsoft Windows 12 require a subscription?

Nothing suggests that Microsoft will move to a subscription model for Windows 12. Instead, it is safer to assume that Microsoft will offer Windows 12 as an optional upgrade for users with a valid license for Windows 11 or possibly even Windows 10.


Is there a Windows 12 Beta?

There is no Windows 12 Beta available currently, but we will update this article if and when a beta or Windows 12 ISO or release candidate appears.

What to Expect in Windows 12: Leaks, Rumors, and More

https://www.pcmag.com/news/what-to-expect-in-windows-12-leaks-rumors-and-more


By Michael Muchmore Updated February 12, 2024

More AI-powered features and modular system design are just a couple of the leaks and rumors swirling around Microsoft's not-yet-announced Windows 12.

Let’s be clear from the start: Microsoft hasn’t officially commented on whether it's developing Windows 12. Some leaks, rumors, and other indicators suggest that we may get Windows 12 in late 2024, but it's looking less and less likely.

A late 2024 release would be much quicker than the move from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Six years passed between the launch of those two OSes, and Windows 11 appeared a little more than two years ago (in October 2021). But prior to Windows 10, major releases did arrive every three years, at least from Windows Vista on, so it's not out of the question for a new version of Windows to be coming relatively soon.

Just when will we see Windows 12 and what can we expect from it? Read on for the most credible rumors we've seen so far.

When Is Windows 12 Coming?
The first inkling that Windows 12 might be coming sooner than expected happened when Microsoft reportedly started implementing a new update cadence for Windows, with major versions released every three years. That same cadence would in theory put a Windows 12 release somewhere in the second half of 2024.

The company previously announced that it would release annual rather than twice-yearly feature updates to Windows. In the second half of 2022, we got the Windows 11 update 22H2, and in 2023 we got 23H2.

Perhaps the strongest evidence for a 2024 release of Windows 12 came in a statement by Intel's chief financial officer in a September interview, in which he predicted a boost in PC sales due to the new version of Windows coming next year. Qualcomm, too, has released statements pointing to Windows 12 in 2024.

Then again, the departure of longtime Windows boss Panos Panay could point to a restructuring of its release schedule. Or the new team might want to wait to put its own stamp on a future release.

Evidence is mounting that we won't see Windows 12 in 2024 at all, though. When those executives say, "the next version of Windows," (none have specifically mentioned "Windows 12"), that word version includes Windows 11 22H2 and 23H2. And in fact, references to a 24H2 version of Windows have been found in Microsoft support documentation.


The Top Source of Windows 12 Leaks
Most of the details about what’s presumed to be known about future developments in Windows come from a single source: Windows Central’s Zac Bowden, who has tentacles inside the company and a decent track record when it comes to Windows predictions.

Highlights among his leaks about the next version of Windows include that the OS will have more artificial intelligence (AI) built in, that it will switch to a lightweight modular code, and that its codename is Hudson Valley. But Bowden's latest thinking points to Windows 12 not coming in 2024.


A Peek at the Windows 12 Desktop at Ignite
Another peek at a potential Windows 12 came at Microsoft Ignite, a conference that focuses on the IT community. The company let slip a Windows desktop interface with an altered appearance, which many have assumed represents what we’ll see in Windows 12.

The (perhaps intentionally blurry) image features a floating taskbar, a floating search bar at the top, and system icons relocated to the top-right corner. A weather button is in the top-left corner.

Frankly, these design tweaks probably wouldn’t merit a whole new Windows version. They’re nowhere near as drastic as the interface update from Windows 10 to 11. And moving the system information—which is something Mac users are familiar with—seems an unnecessary disruption to ingrained Windows users’ habits.


Is Windows as a Service Gone?
When Windows 10 launched, Microsoft stated that updates would come along in between the big updates in a steady stream, using the phrase "Windows as a service." Windows 11 has certainly followed this pattern, and Windows 12 will certainly not be a static, monolithic entity. It will change and add features on an ongoing basis. Keep in mind that Windows 10 in 2020 was a far different and far more capable OS than Windows 10 in 2015 because the company rolled out feature updates in the interim. Windows 10 got updates with names like Creators Update, which changed the OS about as much as macOS changes from one version to another.

And despite references to Windows 10 as "the last version of Windows," Microsoft has made it clear that its practice of releasing both major feature updates (as in 22H2 and 23H2) and interim updates (sometimes called Moments) continues with Windows 11. We have every reason to believe that strategy will continue with Windows 12.


Will Windows 12 Require a Subscription?
Eagle-eyed code watchers have noticed references to "subscription edition," "subscription type," and "subscription status" in the code for a Windows Insider build in the Canary channel (the earliest release channel). These references have led to speculation that Microsoft will require a subscription for the OS in the future—and perhaps PC prices would be lower as a result. Further speculation has it that a free, ad-supported version of Windows 12 might be available as well.

But that's truly all just speculation. A stronger possibility is that these references to subscriptions are for business users, similar to the already available Windows 365 Cloud PC option. Even Bowden published an article debunking the subscription rumor.

A subscription requirement would surely result in outrage from longtime Windows users. That's what happened when Adobe Photoshop first moved to a subscription model...only that users eventually paid up, boosting Adobe's profits and enabling the company to develop impressive new features for the imaging software.


Windows 12 Will Have More Built-In AI
Windows 11's 23H2 update last October brought powerful new AI tools in the form of Windows Copilot. It's already impressive and powerful, though it could stand to have more abilities to actually control your PC. These kind of user-facing predictive and assistive tools should only get stronger in Windows 12. AI technology can also improve back-end things like code stability and update delivery.

Prior to Copilot, Windows' Search panel and the default Edge web browser included the new and conversational search powered by AI. A recent Windows Insider blog post mentioned a Recommended section in File Explorer that suggests files and folders you’re likely to want to open. The feature is noted as being for users signed in to Active Directory accounts, but I could see it coming to anyone with a OneDrive login.





Windows build 27547 spotted, the first Windows '12' build?

https://www.neowin.net/news/windows-build-27547-spotted-the-first-windows-12-build/


Taras Buria @TarasBuria · Jan 30, 2024 09:34 EST · HOT!

2024 is expected to bring plenty of changes to Windows and the PC market in general. While we wait for Microsoft to officially announce its plans for the next-generation Windows (maybe Windows "12"), new feature updates for Windows 11, and allegedly revised system requirements, enthusiasts are busy collecting breadcrumbs that could point to a new Windows version.

As reported by @XenoPanther (via Deskmodder), known for digging out stuff in Microsoft's operating system and spotting builds, the internal Canary Channel (the one Microsoft uses in its development labs) recently made a big jump from build 26047 to 27545.



Drastic build number increases usually indicate a new version or a brand-new release, as was the case with 19XXX builds in Windows 10 and the jump to 22XXX in Windows 11. Therefore, users already speculate that 27545 could be the first trace of Windows "12" or whatever Microsoft plans to release after Windows 11. Here is a brief recap of what is currently going on in the world of Windows:


Stable ChannelVersion 22H2 and 23H2 with the "Moment 4" update, build 22631
Beta ChannelBuild 22635 with the "Moment 5" features
Dev ChannelBuild 23620
Canary Channel (public)Build 26040 (the next "big" update)
Canary Channel (internal)Build 27545 (Windows 12?)


The "Moment 5" update is expected as an optional update in February 2024, which opens the Dev and Beta Channels for version 24H2 (coming in the second half of this year), leaving the Canary Channel open for whatever is coming after Windows 11 version 24H2.



Of course, at this point, without any official acknowledgments or confirmations, we can only speculate about what is behind that build 27545. According to Microsoft, the Canary Channel is for "testing things" that are not necessarily connected to a specific Windows version. And with rumors about Microsoft delaying Windows "12," it could be quite a while before we can get our hands on 27XXX builds.






Windows 12 Might be a Windows 11 24H2 Update, Still Carries AI-Centric Features

https://www.techpowerup.com/318026/...24h2-update-still-carries-ai-centric-features

Friday, January 19th 2024

According to the report by Windows Central, Microsoft is preparing a major update for Windows 11, codenamed Hudson Valley, which is expected to be released later this year as "version 24H2" or the 2024 Update. This update is anticipated to be a substantial upgrade from last year's version 23H2, featuring performance, security, quality-of-life updates, and new features. The star of the 24H2 update is going to be the focus of next-generation AI experiences, a concept Microsoft has hinted at over the past year. Rumors suggest the introduction of an advanced Copilot that will leverage AI and machine learning to enhance the Windows user experience for improved productivity across apps, search, and more. According to sources, Microsoft is aiming for a September release window for version 24H2, with plans to finalize the update over the summer. Despite speculation that this update might be called "Windows 12" due to its alignment with next-gen AI PCs and experiences, sources indicate that it will likely remain a significant Windows 11 update, especially following the departure of ex-Windows chief Panos Panay.

Microsoft is currently testing some of the features of this next release in the Insider Canary Channel, providing a glimpse into the new features. The update will enhance Snap Layouts with machine learning, suggesting commonly snapped apps for a more streamlined user experience. File Explorer will now support the creation of 7zip and TAR compressed archive files, and PNG files will support viewing and editing metadata. The Quick Settings panel will be updated, allowing users to scroll through all available settings and include a new refresh button for the Wi-Fi list. Phone Link will also see improvements, including using a linked phone as a webcam. A new "Energy Saver" mode will be introduced, reducing system performance and saving energy on battery-powered and plugged-in PCs. General improvements include a new "Install drivers" button during the Wi-Fi setup page, the removal of several built-in Windows apps from the OS image, and a new "Windows protected print mode" for Mopria-certified printers.

Windows 12 concept video shows how Microsoft's next OS might look - and it's surprisingly slick

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/9562...ht-look-and-its-surprisingly-slick/index.html


Published Jan 16, 2024 11:30 AM CST

This video mock-up of an imagined Windows 12 - which is completely unrelated to Microsoft - is an interesting watch, but where's all the AI?

1705453150483.png





Watched it yet? It's the clip just above this paragraph - credit to The Register for spotting it - so give the video a whirl, and come back when you're done. Otherwise you won't know what we're banging on about in the following paragraphs (more so than normal).

The concept design (note: it has nothing to do with Microsoft) presented by 'AR 4789' is very smart and we like the more streamlined feel to the desktop and core elements of the interface. It's much like the modern design of Windows 11, but a bit neater, bolder, and cleaner (though still very obsessed with those rounded corners).

We can see Microsoft going for this kind of aesthetic with next-gen Windows, in all honesty - except for moving that taskbar up top. Right now, a big bugbear with many Windows 11 users is that you can't shift the taskbar away from the bottom of the screen (to the top, or sides, as is possible with Windows 10). So maybe this is a subtle nudge to show Microsoft the way in this respect.

As for the elements of the interface themselves, they're borrowed from Windows 11 and test builds of the OS in the main, which of course makes sense. In theory, test versions of Windows 11 right now represent what we'll see in the new version of Windows later this year, which was previously rumored to be Windows 12 (or next-gen Windows).

Of late, however, the rumors have turned towards this year seeing a Windows 11 24H2 update, rather than an all-new OS as such. But still, this is what the concept video maker has got to work from nonetheless in terms of what we expect to get from Windows in the near future.

What AR 4789 doesn't really go into is AI features for Windows 12. Copilot doesn't even appear (a missed chance to have a plane graphic flying around the desktop, frankly), and the AI functionality included is just wallpaper stuff. (We've already heard about the latter on the rumor mill - we could get parallax style fancy AI-powered backgrounds that 'pop' out of the screen, as it were).

Of course, there will be a lot more AI involved in next-gen Windows, but exactly where it will be applied is anyone's guess. It's entirely possible that the eventual aim will be for AI to shape the interface of the desktop OS based on your usage patterns, in one way or another.

If this video rings a bell, it's probably because AR 4789 put together another clip on YouTube a couple of weeks back which showed off Windows XP 2024 - a look at the much-loved operating system of yesteryear in a modern format. (That particular nostalgia trip is right here, if you're curious).





Windows 12 is apparently launching in June 2024 alongside a wave of new AI PCs
Published Dec 4, 2023 12:31 AM CST

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/9471...-2024-alongside-wave-of-new-ai-pcs/index.html



1701779687269.png



2024 will see the arrival of the first AI PCs from hardware companies, and a new report indicates that they're set to launch alongside Windows 12 in June.


Taiwan publication The Commercial Times reports that Microsoft's Windows 12 will launch in June 2024, and the operating system will feature several AI technologies. With that, Microsoft's next Windows will launch alongside a wave of new AI PCs from companies like Acer, MSI, GIGABYTE, and Quanta.

According to the report, 2024 is shaping up to be "the first year of AI PCs," with dedicated hardware built for generative AI. This means Microsoft is positioning Windows 12 as the first version of the operating system built for the age of AI - so it will be interesting to see what it brings to the table compared to Windows 11.

The publication doesn't say where it got the June 2024 launch info for Windows 11. However, the article does feature quotes from Acer CEO Jason Chen and Quanta's Barry Lam from the recent Taiwan Medical Technology Exhibition.

With the recent boom in generative AI and the burgeoning technology across various sectors, companies are going all in on the combination of AI PCs and AI servers working in unison. With Windows 12 at the heart of AI PCs, this isn't the first time we've heard about a potential 2024 launch. However, June would be much sooner than previous rumors and reports indicating a late 2024 launch.

With AI processing a part of Intel's new Meteor Lake CPUs, there's a chance that Windows 12 could require some form of baseline AI readiness on the CPU or GPU front as a requirement. The as-yet-unannounced Windows 12 has been listed as a supported operating system, and with Ryzen mobile 7040 'Phoenix' chips also sporting AI acceleration, there's a chance upgrading to Windows 12 might not be as easy as previous versions.




Report: Windows 12 will release in June 2024, Taiwan’s PC makers think
https://www.pcworld.com/article/216...ase-in-june-2024-taiwans-pc-makers-think.html


By Mark Hachman
Senior Editor, PCWorld DEC 1, 2023 10:31 AM PST

The report is vague, however, and is close to a rumor.


1701515020558.png



Microsoft’s Windows 12 will launch in June of 2024, according to Taiwan media quoting the chairmen of Acer and contract manufacturer Quanta.

The Commercial Times, Taiwan’s largest financial paper, led its report about a recent medical conference by stating that Microsoft’s Windows 12 will launch in June 2024. The paper was reporting on comments made by Barry Lam, the founder and chairman of PC contract manufacturer Quanta, and by Junsheng (Jason) Chen, the chairman and chief executive of Acer.

The CT did not directly attribute the Windows date to either executive, though it said that Lam stated that Quanta would be the “first to invest in AI PCs,” a new category of PCs that Intel chief executive Pat Gelsinger announced in July.

Though the definition differs slightly between companies, an AI PC is generally assumed to be a PC with a processor (such as Intel’s Meteor Lake, AMD’s Ryzen AI, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite CPU) with on-chip AI capabilities. Intel will bring PC makers together in New York on December 14 to launch AI PCs, which should then be seen more broadly at CES in Las Vegas in January.

Microsoft, of course, has already begun shipping its own AI capabilities as part of Copilot, part of Windows 11’s 2023 Update. That large-language-model currently connects to the cloud, not a local processor. It’s unclear whether Windows 12 will continue that trend, or whether the OS will be able to use local AI capabilities instead.

PC makers, however, have certainly been given roadmaps by all of the AI players, as they ready their own hardware. (Quanta, as a “white box” PC maker, makes PCs that third-party PC makers sell under their own brand names.)

What’s unclear is the certainty of the June 2024 launch date. Similar reports by the Central News Agency (the news service of the Republic of China) and DigiTimes don’t mention that specific date, though it’s largely assumed that Microsoft will launch Windows 12 next year. While Windows 11 launched on October 5, Windows 10 launched on July 29, 2015 — so there is precedent, of a sort.

“He expects that by the summer of next year, with the launch of a new generation of Windows operating system, AI PCs will also be launched, and the demand is still difficult to estimate, but it is ‘a good opportunity’ for the industry,” the CT added, using AI-powered translation services.

Microsoft representatives had not responded to a request for comment by press time.




Windows 12: Everything we know so far
SEP 15, 2023 4:58 PM BST

Look out for it next year

https://www.techadvisor.com/article/745965/will-there-be-a-windows-12.html


Will Windows 12 have different hardware requirements?

Probably, yes. While laptops and PCs have retained the same core design for decades, plenty of other specs have already changed since Windows 11 was released.

Its hardware requirements proved controversial, but security features such as TPM and Secure Boot look set to remain for the foreseeable future.

The only rumoured system requirement so far comes from Deskmodder, which suggests you’ll need at least 8 GB of RAM rather than the current 4 GB. Other Windows 11 minimums of 64 GB of storage and a 720p may also be increased, but there’s no evidence for that yet.

**************************


We know that Windows 12 operating system will be always 64 Bit only similar to Windows 11 was release out 2 years ago. No 32 Bits support anymore because Microsoft drop support 32 Bits on Windows 11 and after. Only Windows 10 have both 32 and 64 Bits also before old operating system had list 32 Bit and 64 Bit since Windows XP operating system have two different way are 32 Bit and 64 Bit.

We not sure if have more bloatware programs and maybe Microsoft added new spywares in background. We should find out what have new features and what happened next year 2025. Not sure if Windows 12 operating system is good or bad. Maybe missing features inside Windows 12 settings like control panel and go on... We should going to check in Windows 12 hidden settings then report list when find something. If we think Windows 12 is bad operating system then we should go to Linux operating system instead to forget Microsoft operating system away for good reasons.

I can't wait to get Windows 12 operating system to test on my VMware Workstation Pro running Windows 7 64 Bit or Windows 10 64 Bit to see if can run or not working. I have to wait and see until Windows 12 release out in year 2025.


Anyone have any more info about Windows 12 and let us know. I love everyone feedback and comments about Windows 12 to let me know about everything about Windows 12! ;)

Cheers B-)

Windows 12 😆

M$ releasing it so soon indicates Windows 11 has failed to attract everyone, but surely they know why.

If they truly want Windows users to remain using Windows, they better not fuck up Windows 12 or I'll keep using Windows 10 LTSC until 2029. :)

By the way, 4GB RAM? I mean on Windows 10 it works "fine" with that, just not too smoothly as expected. 8GB RAM should become the minimum.

Hopefully, this one will be good. If it's coming out this soon, I guess I'm just going to skip Windows 11 altogether. I haven't seen much reason to update yet. Auto HDR is a neat feature, but I'm not sure how well it even works.
They need to fix the context menu. Having 2 different context menus in Explorer with different options on them is just, why. If you want to access all the options you have to use the "classic" context menu anyway, so the new one isn't any good as a replacement. It just causes fragmentation and confusion in much the same way as the Settings app that is meant to replace Control Panel, but really doesn't, even to this day.
Most of the changes I don't like about Windows 11 still have settings to change them back to a more conventional design, I hope they still keep those settings in Windows 12.
And there is a slim chance they can finally come up with a start menu design that will be an improvement over Windows 10. I quite like the Windows 10 start menu and how customizable it is, Windows 11 seemed like a downgrade and that is one of the things you can't simply fix by changing a setting.
The start menu has consistently been the one thing they fuck around with in every new Windows version, and usually they just make it worse. XP/Vista/7's start menu was great, 8/8.1's start menu was terrible, 10 was great in many ways but still lacked some features that XP/Vista/7 had, making it a mixed bag, and 11's is similar to 10, only worse. Go back to the start menu design from 10, and bring back the missing features from XP/Vista/7 (like nested folders) and you have the perfect start menu. No need to fix what isn't broken.

You can change 11's Start Menu, but ultimately it still sucks.

They say that so laptop manufacturers can keep things extra cheap. Had a family member by a $100 laptop from walmart and it had 4gb of ram and 32gb of storage. After the Windows install it had less than 100mb of space on it.

this pattern/image changes every time i see it, sometimes including 8.1 and just saying shit on everything past 7, some including 2000. seeing shit on 95 is quite something new though since it's prtty common knowledge how popular and absolutely revolutionary 95 was, especially considering 3.x was just still a dos shell

Issues with this
Vista eventually got good
Windows 8.1
Windows 2000
Windows 98 was shit
Windows 7 was basically just finished Vista with a better skin

I am willing to bet Windows 12 is going to be similar to 7 in the regards of literally just being 11 but fully finished with a new skin

M$ did get rid of Cortana (or Bing) on Windows 10/11 although it was replaced with an AI tool instead.

This is Microsoft's final chance at making a good OS or they'll lose their long-time Windows users to Linux.

98SE was rock solid!
It really was! My first PC had 98SE and I am still trying to relive that experience!

It is becoming more of a reality when you look at the current state of gaming on Linux and even MacOS coming up in the race for gaming. Windows' gaming dominance is starting to look pretty rocky.
