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.
So I’ve got a wacky conspiracy theory about this and all the hardware shortages, ai datacenters, etc. The tech companies are trying to position themselves for “cloud only computing devices” being the only affordable option for most people. The you’ll own nothing and like it model.
This is their wet dream, but I’ll never participate.
Edit: I don’t participate now. I pay for no subscriptions, no streaming services, and I use no cloud services. Oh, and I’m now completely Microsoft-free since October last year.
One of us, one of us!
Hardly, the writing’s on the wall.
no. cloud computing will simply never happen.
