Description:
Intel has been the source of a leak around Windows 12 previously, and the spillage keeps coming.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

We appear to have got our clearest indication yet that a whole new version of Windows will be coming next year.

Windows Latest reports that at a recent technology conference, Intels chief financial officer, David Zinsner, confirmed that the next iteration of
Windows is indeed due to land in 2024.

Zinsner commented: We actually think 2024 is going to be a pretty good year for client, in particular, because of the Windows refresh.

Clearly, then, Intel has been informed that theres going to be a new version of Windows next year.

Although theres no mention of the name Windows 12, or any other name for that matter Windows refresh is obviously not the title Microsoft will plump for when it comes to the successor to Windows 11 . Analysis: Playing the name
game

Of course, there are already plenty of rumors around Microsoft bringing out a next-gen Windows in 2024 . And theres plenty of speculation that it will be called Windows 12 , too, but the reality is that at this point, Microsoft may be deep into working on this next version, but probably doesnt know what itll be called itself yet.

Windows 12 just seems the most likely default option, naturally. About the only other possibility that occurs to us is that Microsoft may want to jam Copilot into the name, or maybe AI or something along those lines, given that this is the latest big thing (TM). And Copilot will certainly be considerably developed in a years time.

You may recall that Intel was previously the source of a leak about next-gen Windows, one that actually used the name Windows 12 when talking about
support regarding upcoming processors. This info was quickly retracted when reported on, though, and we wouldnt read anything into the use of the name,
as we just mentioned.

Next-gen Windows, whether its Windows 12, Windows AI or insert your own
guess here is expected to arrive later in the second half of 2024 ( work theoretically began on the new OS at the start of 2022 ).

Were expecting it to be built around big advances with Copilot which will doubtless be used to push it as a compelling upgrade. Microsoft will be looking for a sizeable carrot to dangle in front of would-be upgraders, especially considering that Windows 11 has failed pretty miserably to gain
all that much traction in its two years of existence thus far. You might also like
