Here are some Windows 12 rumors (pulled from one of the biggest German-language tech news sites citing insider information)

  • It won't come out this year, release may be end of next year at the absolute earliest.
  • It will require PCs with a Neural Processing Unit that can handle more than 40 billion TOPS, 8GB RAM minimum, 16 recommended.
  • It may eventually require an ARM-based "Copilot PC", a new device class released last year.
  • It will be modular, with a core OS and additional modules depending on edition, licensing, hardware and use case.
  • It may have a read-only system partition.
  • It will be focussed on AI and cloud integration, heavily leaning towards OS as a service.
  • It will be free to install as an upgrade, with a monthly subscription to run it.

A subscription lol. I'll keep on running Linux.

Ironically, I use Linux like a subscription model.
I donate $10/month, split among projects I get the most value from.
And it's a vastly better value for money than a Microsoft 365 license.

You're right, but it just doesn't feel as dirty that way 😂
