Windows 12 could be another costly upgrade for supporters of Microsoft operating systems. A new report reveals that the AI-dominated OS will require AMD and Intel CPUs with a dedicated NPU. Possibly surfacing in late 2026, the follow-up to Windows 11 may also rely on subscriptions.
remember when windows 10 was supposed to be the last os they ever made
Windows 7 was arguably the last OS they ever made.
This line of thought goes all the way back to NT, and even then IBM would have some comments.
DOS was the last one they built, and they made a really decent GUI for it before they switched to NT.
Wasn’t 7 just an visually updated NT.
everything after w2k is NT. by kernel version, its
haven’t checked 11 but i bet you they bumped the major again.
You skipped vista, XP, and 2000.
wasn’t advertised as such though
No, because that was a shitty headline that mischaracterized an employee’s one-off statement and was then held up as gospel truth by the internet.
it was from a press conference where they said they were done with version numbers and that windows 10 would basically be supported forever. that’s not mischaracterisation
It was from a low-level spokesperson’s statement at a press junket that the (then-current) internal versioning system was being abandoned.
It’s absolutely a mischaracterization.
i linked the junket in question.
It was certainly the last one that I voluntarily used.
Yes, like Arch but for windows
No, that is not what they said. Stop spreading this propaganda.
that is exactly what hey said.
