So Microsoft is continuing their promotion of Linux.
Hijacking top comment to let people know this article is just made up.
This. It's based on AI Halucinations based off of previous trends. MS's roadmap does not have W12 listed at all.
Stopped reading after the “Why it matters” section. Nobody uses that phrase in an article.
*Microslop
What is this news outlet? This seems like just an outright lie...
Here's another article from a more well known source saying the opposite is true. That they have no windows 12 release plans for 2026 and instead they're trying to fix the issues with 11 and reduce the amount of AI is being pushed on the user.
While I hate Microslop as much as the next guy - critical thinking like this is woefully absent on the internet…
Many people literally read headlines and that’s all. They don’t question the source.
I mean, it definitely got Lemmy frothing at the mouth.
I don't want to hear a single one of you calling others for falling for AI slop ever again.
I forget, was it Win10 that was supposed to be the last version of Windows ever?
Upgraded all my Win 10 machines to Linux so you're spot on
I knew this would be here…
Look, I’m normally not one to defend M$ but this just isn’t the case. One dude who was on stage for something else, who yes worked for M$ but isn’t PR or anything, made that statement as an offhand comment. The press ran with it, as they are wont to do.
Bottom line is, M$ never claimed W10 was their last os. It was “just some guy”.
By all accounts it was someone who didn't speak English as their first language and described the version as "last" when they meant "latest".
Yes it was, but this was before Nadella went full AI bro.
Allegedly an incorrect rumor.
Yeah I trust Windows Central more than whatever this site is.
Microslop (through tears): Stop calling us Microslop!

Subscription-based, AI-Focused
"Hey team, so how can we make a worse Windows 11?" - Microslop
At my job we are working with a few air gapped Windows machines which is already really annoying because Microslop doesn't offer offline installers for anything related to Windows 11 anymore. I expect this to get even more difficult over time.
Also:
Subscription based AND AI focused? All they're missing are loot boxes.
