Windows 12 is due to come out this year.

1) Your computer does not meet the system requirements. Again.

Why?

Your PC will need a dedicated NPU — a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks. So, if you recently bought a new PC just to use Windows 11, Microsoft wants you to go shopping again.

2) It will finally, unfortunately, introduce a subscription model.

That's right — you read that correctly. They want you to pay and keep paying to use the computer you just bought. Technically, you won’t own your computer while Windows is installed.

NOW is the time to try Linux. Stop waiting. Don’t make excuses. Don’t even complain — we all knew this day was coming. Either try Linux, or admit you’re Microsoft’s little bitch.

Source? Yes, this is real.

Saying "it will introduce a subscription model" gave me the wrong idea, there will likely be a subscription option to tie in office 365 with AI features

"
references to a subscription model were found in the latest Windows preview builds, suggesting that Microsoft is finally going to force users to pay a monthly subscription to use Windows, right? No. These references are almost definitely tied to the newly discovered "IoT Enterprise Subscription" edition of Windows 11, not the client version of Windows vNext.

The classic Home Windows is likely to remain a one-time licence. Advanced AI services would be added as an option.

No, of course 'Windows 12' won't require a subscription to use it

Rumors that the next version of Windows will require a subscription are greatly exaggerated.

@ambiguous_yelp Not sure if this will be the case, #MacroSlop is deeply in debt and needs a way to capture money, and for sure companies would need to pay, or do what Europe is already doing, moving away from #MicroSlop
