Windows gets a ‘Liquid Glass’ makeover in a concept, and fans want Microsoft to hire the creator

Microsoft is integrating AI capabilities into Windows, aiming for an "agentic OS" that performs tasks autonomously. This initiative has faced backlash, prompting clarifications from the company. A fan-made concept video by YouTube creator AR 4789 presents a "Liquid Glass" aesthetic for Windows, featuring smooth animations and rounded corners. The concept includes a lock screen with a weather widget, a macOS-style Dock, an AI-powered search bar, and a redesigned system tray. Key applications like File Explorer and Settings have also been updated, along with features allowing users to pin widgets to the desktop and a revamped Start menu. The community has responded positively, encouraging Microsoft to consider this design.

If Windows 12 looked like this, Microsoft could win us over

Windows 10 will reach its end-of-life on October 14, 2025, and many users are hesitant to upgrade to Windows 11 due to design flaws and high system requirements. Tiny11 is an alternative tool that creates a lightweight version of Windows 11 for older PCs, recently updated to support Windows 11 version 25H2. Microsoft is set to roll out Windows 11 version 25H2 from September to October without new features. Concept designer Abdi has created a concept video for "Brilliant Windows 12," which includes features like "Collectzone" for wallpaper collections, merged Control Panel and settings, Quick Interactive Settings, and enhanced customization options. Microsoft claims Windows 11 PCs are up to 2.3 times faster than Windows 10 PCs, but some users view the end of Windows 10 support as "programmed obsolescence." A public interest research group has petitioned against discontinuing Windows 10 support, fearing it could lead to a significant increase in discarded computers. HP and Dell report that half of current PCs still run Windows 10, raising security concerns. Microsoft expects to earn over a billion from its Extended Security Updates program after Windows 10's end-of-life.

If Windows 12 is anything like this concept, I’d switch from Windows 11 (or 10) in a heartbeat

A new concept video titled 'Windows 12.2' has been created by YouTuber 'AR 4789', showcasing a refined vision for Microsoft's operating system. The video features a clean interface inspired by Apple's Liquid Glass and includes elements like the Aero transparency effect from Windows Vista. It presents nostalgic features such as a Windows 7 theme and various customizable taskbar options. However, the likelihood of Microsoft adopting these ideas is uncertain, especially given the mixed reception of Windows 11. Observers suggest that any future iteration will need to represent significant advancements rather than incremental updates. Microsoft may focus on maintaining Windows 11 with annual updates while investing in a more AI-centric operating system.
