Windows 12

[davehc]

Rumours around that windows 12 is in the pipeline. Googling hasnt shown anything reliable.
Redmond has a good explanation - It is a windows look linux, dubbed 12

it's like a car you can only do so much with upgrades when are going to have to replace it. Win 11 will go through upgrades till like 10 it will be having to be replaced. The miss leading thought of Win10 being the last was just a theory that did not work. How many come before Win10? I have seen a lot since 1984 like Win3.1

and yet, Windows 12 will still be Windows 10 under the hood just as Windows 11 is. Lipstick and mascara

found this on a German computer site:

However, I have read also that the basis of Windows 12 is no longer Windows 10 (as it is the case with Windows 11) but should get a
Linux based basis. (MS has invested more and more into Linux in the recent years, so that actually does not surprise me). Windows 12
will that way probably be available in a few years as they (Microsoft) want to reinvent the wheel....... AGAIN!

Windows 12

Windows 12 (codenamed Next Valley) is the next major release of Windows after its predecessor Windows 11. It would be the final main release to use the NT Kernel, with Windows 13, its official succesor, and Windows Zinc, which has no successor or pre-determined predecessor, using the Quantum...

This was the one I referred to:

'Windows 12' Is Not What You Think It Is -- Redmondmag.com

Reports of a Windows 10 successor in the wild have been greatly exaggerated. Brien digs into what's really going on with the rumored 'Windows 12.'

Makes a lot of sense.

But the above report was written in September 2020, way before Windows 11 was announced?

Yes.. Didn't see the date. But it still makes interesting reading.

The linux distribution and is still, apparently, drawing curious downloaders in. I'm a little surprised that MS haven't stepped in with murmurs about copyright on titles!!

There is, already, one windows forum (not this one) which has already opened a Windows 12 dedicated forum and, even more surprising, it already has contributions!

If Microsoft are working on Windows 12 then either it’ll take 6 or 7 years to be released or it’s an indication that Windows 11 is a failure. Why work on a new OS when the current one has just been released.
