Set Your Calendars: Windows 12 is Coming in June 2024 with Arm Support and AI Features

Microsoft is preparing a big update for its Windows operating system. Currently at version 11, the company is gearing up for the launch of Windows 12, which is supposed to bring a monumental shift in the tectonic plates of the regular PC user experience. Enhanced by AI, the Windows 12 OS should utilize many features like generative AI, large language models, some GPT integration, and many other tools that could benefit AI, like photo editors. The confirmation for the Windows 12 launch coming in 2024 is sourced from the Taiwanese Commercial Times, which analyzed comments from Barry Lam, the founder and chairman of PC contract manufacturer Quanta, and Junsheng (Jason) Chen, the chairman and chief executive of Acer.

Both of them underscored the importance of AI and that AI PCs are coming with the next version of Windows. Supposedly, the launch date for Windows 12 is set for June 2024. In that timeframe, hardware vendors should roll out their SoCs embedding AI processing elements at every silicon block. Qualcomm is set to debut its Snapdragon Elite X SoCs in mid-2024, aligning with the alleged release schedule of Windows 12. With more players like NVIDIA, AMD, and others planning to utilize an Arm instruction set for their next-generation PC chips, we expect to see Windows 12 get full-fledged support for Arm ISA and treat it like a first-class citizen in the OS.

R0H1TSSD's weren't even close to being affordable till at least half a decade later. I get the point that Vista wasn't as bad as it's made out to be but the about having/needing SSD is BS as well ~ they only started getting mildly affordable around 2012-14 at best & anyone asking you to buy "enthusiast" level tech to make your system better(?) has just lost it!
This is true. It's one of the things that really hurt Vista at the time. It's not that Vista's system requirements were unreasonably high, they were just unreasonably high at the time. It was eventually revealed that this was even the sentiment at Microsoft internally at the time, with Mike Nash's famous “I now have a $2,100 e-mail machine” quote.

Vista is no different from Windows 7 in the regard that once installed on an SSD, the performance will be more than substantially improved, though. It's basically essential, IMHO.

lexluthermiesterNot true. After SP1 Vista was very stable and much better on resources. After SP2 it was smooth as glass.
I had no problems with vista...did a lot of gaming on it , never had an issue.

Windows 7 didn't need an SSD. I remember it being butter smooth and conveniently fast on an HDD.
Then, Windows 10 came and in the beginning (several update cycles) it was fine, afterwards its hardware requirements got extremely high and it began to feel very slow on an HDD.

Vista did need both very fast CPU, more RAM (4, 6 or even 8 GB) and an SSD.

Neither of them *need*, but regardless, both suck on mechanical storage. It's just a game changer after you get used to it, you can't go back and you will never find the performance of a mechanical boot drive acceptable, regardless of OS.

Dr. Droyou can't go back
You can. There are PC hardware components on the ebay, buy them and run Windows 98 or XP if you will.

You've missed the point, man. What I meant is that it's just not acceptable unless you have the patience of a monk.

Anyway, this conversation reminds me of this clip LOL

AleXXX666I slapped in Core2Duo T8100, 2x2GB RAM and SSD. Vista "flied" like ya new Ryzens with Win 11 nowadays...:D
And that setup will run Windows 11 too! Likely very well.

To be fair, if you had the hardware to run it and the drivers you were running worked well, then even the RTM Vista was decent.

And it still does. Win 7 is the best version of Windows ever, full stop!

It should, although won't claim it's a speed demon if going by my Mac mini's P8600 processor. Still, it's plenty enough for basic tasks and it will handle retro emulation decently if the laptop's got any form of graphics (that is, not Intel GMA graphics). I've stuck to 8.1 on the mini so far but I think i'll try to get Windows 11 (12?) 24H2 running on it once the RTM ISO is available.

Hi,
Little to early to say that lol
Have to monitor new ai tutorials on elevenforum.com to see how bad it's going to be
Copilot tutorials so far has turned it off but with all things MS they will likely ignore the regs later

My 1st SSD this time was Corsair Force Series™ 3 60GB LOL. Yeah it was priced like today 1 TB M2 LOL, but it worked in many many machines until replaced last year for good lol.
