Qualcomm CEO says that the next version of Windows is due in mid 2024 - place your bets on Windows 11 24H2 or Windows 12::Qualcomm’s CEO alludes to the “next version of Windows” with a launch date in the middle of the year.
no thanks. you can pry windows 10 off of my ssd from it’s cold dead corpse.
*tale as old as time… *
“XP is ruining windows with their damn duplo looking themes and primary colors. Pry 98 SE from my cold dead hands”
*true as it can be… *
“Windows 7 was the last time Microsoft cared, and 8.1 and 10 are regressions in every way. You’ll pry it from my cold dead hands”
“Windows X9 Delta was the final version when MicroAmazon cared about holographic interfaces. I’ll never use Windows X10 Gamma.”
I get the hate for change but as a user who really doesn’t like Windows overall* I like the 11 changes. I actually prefer the new context menu (which can be disabled) and UI. Do I hate the useless widgets and ad spam? Yes. But I just don’t use it, instead opting for the weather taskbar info.
It’s still no macOS but if I’m forced to use it for work then it’s better than 10 in my opinion.
*DLL Hell, Registry bloat, installation files being thrown god knows where, lack of widespread disk image support, abysmal wake from sleep/hibernation, Microsoft trying to upsell everywhere.
My opinion is that copilot is the focus for 24. Microsoft has lots of development and marketing around copilot and how it works in 11, Edge, Bing, M365, and all the other Microsoft Graph yada yada fancy apps stuff. Launching 12 now would be an unnecessary distraction away from all copilot investments.
How about we call it windows 12 XPeevista20003?
It has lots of throwback to the old stupid names.
Maybe just something more truthful like “test 012” or “untitled 012”
Do you have a problem with the Windows 11 24H2 name?
24H2 means “second half of 2024.” Microsoft has been using this versioning scheme for a long time.

Give me a Windows with better gaming performance and I switch right away. And if possible stop with this beta patched live rollout before testing. And FFS stop removing options to fix bloatware additions, at least just hide them for the plebs.
Microsoft: You want a more stable better performing OS?
best I can do is AI everywhere.
Me: i want arch Linux Microsoft: we have arch Linux at home
Probably Win11-24 update. If MS goes Surprise Win12, well, it’ll be time to upgrade… again
