I just want to see Windows, and so many other layered-up legacy programs, refreshed. My other example is AutoCAD for a software that’s just half-finished garbage stacked on top of older half-finished garbage for a while until it’s all on top of a program that was designed for computers from the ‘90s.

Windows has other problems, of course, like how no matter how good their shit is they still have absolutely dogshit, anti-human behaviours, but still.

Anyway, someone else was saying the article might not even have any real sources but I wanted to rant about this so…hurray.

Oh goodie! I mean, Windows 11 was hand-coded. Disgusting! Windows 12 will bring the vibes! It'll be the most vibe coded OS! (And probably the last when it tanks.) Think about it, AI is monitoring every action you do! Reporting to all it's masters and their business partners everything you do! Oh all the ads they'll send you, all the subscriptions they'll sell! Of course, it'll be always online else it can't fully use the datacenters.

I'm being mostly sarcastic (any "excitement" for it). I mean, it's probably going to have the worst performance since AI will be monitoring EVERYTHING and I really do expect it to be coded via prompts instead of talent. Microsoft and NVIDIA are already having massive issues with everything due to "AI" being used and they started with a working based code. 11 adoption was already bad and they made sure people knew 10 was dying so they could push the numbers... I don't recall any previous version of Windows getting that treatment.

CPU NPU requirements will mean longer support necessity for Windows 11.

If they go ahead with subscriptions, demand will certainly add additional demand for that. But I guess subscriptions would be to cover copilot cost. Given Microsoft's interest in people upgrading to eventually reduce support surface, I have to assume it will be optional, for AI features. Following that reasoning, the NPU requirement may be optional too, only applicable to the AI features block.

But who knows, the whole thing is not driven by reasonable business decisions anyway.

Also, I had no idea there was a "gaming copilot". Even after following links to the introduction news, I don't get what it really does.

They won’t force everybody to replace their hardware in a time of memory shortage crisis.

What is “Windows”?

"Embrace ^ai Extend ^ai Extinguish ^own company"

I think it will be Copilot OS not Windows 12. They will kill Windows brand with Windows 11.
