While there is no official confirmation, there are speculations that Microsoft is working on Windows 12. This comes after a screenshot is alleged to be accidently shared at Ignite 2022 event. Windows 12 seems plausible and is expected to be launched in 2024. However, Microsoft is unlikely to release an official statement until the next-gen version of Windows is close to launch. A similar strategy was applied for Windows 11 that was launched in 2021.
Assuming Microsoft is working on Windows 12, it makes us wonder what new features could be introduced. For better clarity, here's what to expect from Windows 12.
Improved gaming - Gaming has already received a significant boost with Windows 11. Things are expected to be improved further with Windows 12. Next-gen version of Windows should be able to support the latest gaming technologies. This will allow users to play a comprehensive range of games on their Windows 12 computers. The primary aim will be to make the gaming experience on Windows PCs close to that of dedicated gaming platforms such as Xbox.
Intuitive functions - Windows 12 could be a major leap in terms of intuitiveness. It will have better capabilities to judge user needs and respond automatically with relevant actions to ensure a seamless experience. With enhanced intuitiveness, Windows 12 will be more approachable and user-friendly. It is possible that hi-tech machine learning and AI may also be utilized to some extent to improve user interactions.
More suited for graphic design - It is a widely known fact that most designers prefer to use Mac over Windows PC. There are various reasons for this such as better font rendering and more vibrant and realistic colors. A design created on a Mac will closely match the visuals in printed format. Moreover, Macs are said to have better Graphical User Interface (GUI) in comparison to Windows PC. Microsoft will be aiming to challenge Apple on these fronts with Windows 12.
Improved performance - With capabilities to support newer-gen processors and other hardware, Windows 12 will naturally be faster than its predecessors. This should allow tangible performance improvements, especially for resource-hogging tasks such as gaming, digital rendering, etc.
Lower carbon footprint - Even in Windows 11, a number of features have been introduced that reduce power and battery consumption. Things will be improved further with Windows 12. This will be in line with Microsoft's commitment to reduce carbon footprint associated with its devices and software systems.
Last but not least, Windows 12 will have more customization options for users. Microsoft has often been blamed for not providing adequate personalization options. This could see a dramatic change with Windows 12.
