NO HABRÁ WINDOWS 12

Summary

The video discusses expectations and rumors surrounding Windows 12, including problematic requirements like IA processors that most computers lack. However, Microsoft seems to be taking a different path without Windows 12 for now, instead releasing a major Windows 11 update in September focused on AI. This update could be so different it needs a clean install, leading to speculation it could be labeled Windows 12. Still, demands remain like 16GB RAM minimum, and possibly required new CPUs for AI capabilities. Ultimately Microsoft prioritizes financial goals over users, pushing planned obsolescence despite environmental and accessibility concerns.
