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.
I guess they really were full of shit.
Microsoft has been discussing the idea of Windows as a service, but the company hasn’t really explained exactly how that will play out with future versions of Windows. That might be because there won’t really be any future major versions of Windows in the foreseeable future. Microsoft has altered the way it engineers and delivers Windows, and the initial result is Windows 10. Instead of big releases, there will be regular improvements and updates. Part of this is achieved by splitting up operating system components like the Start Menu and built-in apps to be separate parts that can be updated independently to the entire Windows core operating system. It’s a big undertaking, but it’s something Microsoft has been actively working on for Windows 10 to ensure it spans across multiple device types.

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.
So much for Windows 10 being the last Windows.
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.
Also, give us back the explorer ribbon that’s actually functional rather than adding extra clicks for things I use regularly hiding them behind submenus
And a start menu that isn’t, frankly, a joke. Even 8’s was more usable than this garbage
Like, stop changing things just to change them and removing functionality that we can’t get back without third party tools, that’s gotten obscene lately… Nobody cares about explorer tabs, and if they did, the Windows 11 implementation of them isn’t particularly good or functional anyway
Win11 is just win10 with (basically) enforced hardware security TPM. So, you know, websites and shit know your hardware is legit, to check if you’re allowed to play that sweet 4k video you already pay that subscription for.
Curious what they do when I add “DisableTPMCheck” to the registry during install to make it go on ancient hardware?
I say they’ll just know they can’t trust your OS install completely, so it may refuse to serve you HD content, or maybe some banking stuff can fail… some online game may not work, etc.
I haven’t taken time to actually read about it unfortunately, but I feel like this whole TPM thing is just gonna be PC enshittification vector. I wish I’m wrong about this…
