    Microsoft to reportedly focus on security and AI in next version of Windows

    It’s the company’s latest attempt at a “modern” and scalable version of Windows.

    Microsoft is working on a new “modern” version of Windows with better security and faster updates, according to Windows Central. The initiative, called CorePC, would allow Windows to scale better for different devices while still supporting legacy apps.

    CorePC would aim for many of the same goals as the scrapped Windows Core OS (including the also canceled Windows 10X), which Microsoft billed as a modular modernization of its OS. CorePC would use “state separation” and split Windows into multiple partitions, similar to iOS and Android. This could make it harder for malware to infect the system while making updates faster...

    CorePC would let Microsoft offer various editions of Windows for different hardware, supporting specific features and apps for each. For example, one educationally focused variant could have a light footprint like ChromeOS, running only the Edge browser, web apps, Office and emulated Android apps. Conversely, CorePC could also offer full-fledged versions of Windows that support all the current features and capabilities of the modern Windows 11 desktop. (A “Neon” compatibility layer would let the OS support legacy Windows apps.)...

    Finally, Microsoft is (unsurprisingly) baking AI into the new project. Its plans include using artificial intelligence to analyze on-screen content and provide appropriate contextual cues. It sounds like a system-wide extension of the AI capabilities in upcoming versions of Office.

    As for when you can get your hands on it, Microsoft is reportedly aiming to use CorePC for the next major version of Windows (presumably “Windows 12”), scheduled for 2024. But, of course, the company’s alleged plans could change between now and then.

    I am hoping personal computer/OS/software/games able to take advantage of multi-processor setup rather than multi-cores. More cores, powerful, faster and smaller die size cpu is a killer. :)

    It "could", but it "won't", except MS finally learns to use least privilege concept and doesn't run "everything" as SYSTEM or TI. Users should be users and admins should be admins.

    MS when W11 was released: "this will be the last Windows. It just gets updated and updated."

    MS now:

    Nothing they do is because they want to make windows better. It's done to sell newer versions.
