While there's no reason yet to presume the software will be called Windows 12, there's plenty of good reasons to assume Microsoft is working on a follow-up to Windows 11.
The best MacBooks tap the power of their Apple M-series chips not just to help you speed through spreadsheets, but also to help out with tasks like touching up your webcam image quality during video calls.Ī Windows 11 successor that offered similar features by taking fuller advantage of the hardware it's running on would be awfully compelling, and Windows Central claims Microsoft is developing potential Windows 12 features like automatically analyzing what's on-screen and popping up contextual prompts, or allowing you to highlight text in images and copy it into another file. That would make an awful lot of sense given how much success Apple has seen switching its MacBooks from Intel CPUs to its own in-house Apple Silicon. At least one version is being designed with a focus on optimizing hardware and software to the fullest and leveraging the hardware's machine learning capabilities "in a way similar to Apple Silicon", according to Windows Central. The future Windows version would be designed to come in multiple editions appropriate for different platforms, and the company is working on a layer of compatibility software (reportedly codenamed "Neon") that will bridge the gap when trying to run apps that require legacy Windows features on the newer, slimmer versions.Ī version of this lightweight Windows successor is reportedly already being tested internally, and is "roughly 60-75% smaller than Windows 11 SE" according to Windows Central's trusted source.
According to Windows Central's sources, this more modular and lightweight Windows 11 successor would be smaller and easier to install, not to mention faster to update, which could make it a more compelling ChromeOS competitor.
