I am beginning to really HATE Microshit! 

 It is all about the money.  

And no RedneckDude in sight.   

Hi DrJBHL   hope you are well.

This was brought up a little while ago in another topic, most of the replies connected to it said it was not correct. 

I would like to think i get around the net a bit as i have many interests including running my own Forum. I too have seen a few Windows 12 Topics listed here and there on places not connected to each other, due to this, i tend to believe there may be something in this. I do not think we will see a full blown new OS, more a big feature update to Win 11 which may get the Win12 Name in some way. Time will show us the way, so for now, i am watching the various sources that are reporting and commenting on this.

As I wrote, MS is always working on something...which will cost you directly or in directly.

And when? 2030+.

My Windows 7 with 0Patch is working just fine and dandy.

.....maybe when Windows 17 comes along......

As we all know that has been the MS Model for such a long time now, making us pay one way or another. One thing i do know is other more resourceful peeps will always react with work arounds nullifying all what is seen as negative, leveling the playing field. This has happened every time MS has done something a lot of users hate, no reason to worry about this possible development, whatever they call the next OS or feature release.

Jafo did you pay for 0Patch, i am curious (No intention of going back to any older OSs).

There is no such "windows 12" under development. that information was a joke by @swiftonsecurity on twitter . he deleted his tweet after.

Jafo uses the paid edition. There is a free one.

Yes, That's what's written in the original post, along with a screenshot of that SwiftSecurity post.

Windows 12 would be a horrible idea at this point. It is better to have 1 finished OS than 2 unfinished OS's in circulation. Fortunately, I believe Windows 12 is not a serious idea yet and is more as a way to talk up their new security chip.

Indeed. M$ is about money...as teddybearcholla and I mentioned. Don't forget all the $urfaces which will come wrapped around that chip.

From the west news

"New features are expected to be added to Windows 12 in 2021. Microsoft plans to release this product somewhere between April and October of 2022, as previously stated. This suggests that the software’s formal launch and release date are both coming up soon."

This is the funniest part of the Windows 12 rumor because the release that is being talked about here is none other then 22H2. How did someone mistake it for Windows 12?

I do think that the rumor probably did get started somewhere within Microsoft, probably their surface department, mostly to get hardware sales up. Saying devices with the chip already installed are sure to be Windows 12 proof is a good sales tactic. I am not sure Windows 12's design is much beyond that yet though and probably won't be for a few more years.

I do suppose there is some truth in saying you may need to invest in the chip. But, I do not think Windows 12's release is impending soon. That part is just from hungry reporters.

I have been running Windows 11 on my "uncompatible" machine for several months now and I can say that I have not had a single issue with this OS since starting it's use. There is literally nothing that I can complain about. It's been running flawlessly.

Well, Well.

It was reported Yesterday in Computeractive Magazine, that Windows 12 is a real thing, apparently sources at MS has said they are moving back to a new OS around every 3 years or so , with a new OS around 2024.Of coarse, there is no official leak from MS, but i trust the magazine Reporter who wrote the article, he does seem to have good insider info about this and previous big stories he has published. Here we go again, i have only had Win 11 22H2 for around a month now, hope this does not effect any SD Programs in the works.

They say they are doing this so they can release new windows features regularly, calling them " Moments". I will have no choice but to start using this Win12, as soon as it is released, that makes my job more difficult as i have to say familiar with all current OSs that are still in support.
