At the Ignite conference held by Microsoft a few days ago, some careful people noticed an unprecedented screenshot of the system. Developers at the meeting said the image showed part of the design concept for Windows’ “Next Valley” system. Next Valley is the next generation of Windows, or “Windows 12” in the mouth of the media and fans.
Although Windows executives have denied that there will be Windows 12 not long ago, the outside world believes that this kind of flickering and vague remarks is just marketing to avoid suspicion.
Returning to the screenshot, the new Windows continues the new centered workbar design of Win11, but if you look closely, there is a translucent floating menu bar at the top, which supports search, multitasking management, etc., because it is a long “capsule” shape , even a bit like the “dynamic island” of the iPhone 14 Pro.
Then look, the time, date, Wi-Fi, etc. are moved to the upper right corner, and the weather plug-in is arranged in the upper left corner, which is indeed a reference to macOS.
According to the developer, the notification center and login interface of the system also have a new visual style, and the purpose of these new changes is to be more conducive to touch operations.
Of course, “Windows 12” will not be launched until 2024 at the earliest, and Microsoft has time to continue to improve or even completely overturn the current plan.
