As Windows 10 approaches its end of life in the coming months, Microsoft is preparing to transition its user base to newer operating systems. With the cessation of free security updates and official support, users are faced with pivotal decisions: upgrade to Windows 11, explore Linux alternatives, or hold out for the anticipated Windows 12.
This significant shift in the PC landscape signals Microsoft’s commitment to ushering in an AI-enhanced experience, regardless of users’ readiness for such a change. While the tech giant has yet to unveil Windows 12 officially, speculation abounds regarding its design, features, and the integration of artificial intelligence within the operating system.
Windows 12.2
Among the intriguing insights into what Windows 12 might entail is the vision presented by renowned concept designer Abdi (AR 4789). His latest creation, dubbed Windows 12.2, is described as the “next evolution” of the Windows operating system.
Abdi has a notable track record of reimagining Microsoft’s offerings, having previously crafted modern interpretations of Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 10, as well as concepts like Windows 12 Mobile and Windows 12 Lite. His latest endeavor continues this tradition of innovation, showcasing a sleek and futuristic vision of what the next OS could embody.
The showcase begins with a simulated installation process, leading into a detailed exploration of the design and new features. Many observers have noted that this concept stands out as one of Abdi’s most polished and visually appealing works to date. A particularly interesting feature is the OS’s ability to transform into a Windows 7 interface through an installable theme, appealing to those nostalgic for earlier versions.
For those interested in Abdi’s interpretation of Windows 12.2, a full video presentation is available for viewing. It invites viewers to engage with the concept and share their thoughts on whether they would prefer this iteration over Windows 11, as well as what features they would like to see—or avoid—in Microsoft’s forthcoming operating system.
