Windows 12 could be another costly upgrade for supporters of Microsoft operating systems. A new report reveals that the AI-dominated OS will require AMD and Intel CPUs with a dedicated NPU. Possibly surfacing in late 2026, the follow-up to Windows 11 may also rely on subscriptions.

    How can anyone upgrade to a new PC when there is no Ram or hard disks available? This is a crazy time to try to push that.

      I think this highlights Microsoft’s inability to connect with its customers even more than the AI and shit.

      They really just do not give a shit about the consumer, at all.

      Its insane people put up with it on their own personal machines I get for work or whatever.

        Agreed. I think it has gotten worse over time. Operating systems for consumer PCs are a mature market and they don’t really have commercial rivals. It’s Mac, Windows, or Linux and most people never really consider Linux. So, they use Windows to push their other products and not so much as a product in itself.
