WINDOWS 12 New Look
WINDOWS 12: Microsoft shared a screenshot of an untitled Windows UI at its Ignite 2023 conference. The Redmond company could have shown a preview of the Windows 12 UI.
Microsoft unveiled its new Surface PC lineup at the Ignite 2023 conference. However, an image showing a variant of the company’s flagship operating system, which was not yet known to users, caught the eye. Is this a preview on Windows 12?
When it comes to breaking news about the next version of Windows, Windows Central is best suited. The site looked at this image, which was used to illustrate the Microsoft Teams application during the presentation. Having said that Windows 12 could launch in 2024. Due to poor image quality, a mockup was developed to show exactly what we saw.
The image in question shows a new user interface. It doesn’t look like the Windows user interface we know today. Therefore, the floating taskbar is located in the lower part of the screen. System icons are located in the right corner. The floating search box is available at the top center.
the weather appears in the upper left corner of the image. Windows Central has redesigned the theme. Because they had already seen an internal presentation of a similar prototype Windows 12 interface with a similar layout. As such, the image above may not be an exact representation of the new UI. It serves as a statement of what Microsoft teams hope to achieve with the next release. Which is codenamed “NextValley”.
A TOUCH USER INTERFACE
Microsoft has worked hard to make the Windows user interface as user-friendly as possible. For both touch operation and keyboard and mouse input for a number of years. With Windows available in so many different formats, it can be difficult to strike the right balance. Naturally we think of tablets, computers, but also hybrids such as PCs with foldable screens.
Though it’s unclear how such an image ended up in the middle of a Microsoft conference. It’s probably not the latest build of Windows 12. At least this example has the benefit of giving a general idea. It shows the possible direction in which Microsoft’s operating system could go.
After an overly touch-focused Windows 8, a Windows 10 that made peace with the keyboard and mouse, and a Windows 11 that didn’t change the game, Microsoft needs to think ahead without alienating its current user base.
