Not sure how much of this is accurate, but tada... clicky clicky!
It's about a 10 min video, but worth the watch as it covers some Windows 12 leaks. It's still early, but it sure does look legit-ish. All the AI talk aside, the idea of CorePC/Core OS and making Windows more modular is great. If you don't need legacy compatibility for a program written in the 90s, don't install it. Keep the computer clean. If you do, install it.
Edit: Holy crap on a cracker. This video suggests that for Windows 12 you can either pay for a subscription or use it for free with ads. 
Edit 2: I'm sure the data-tracking gonna get worse though.

The video sure did cover a lot of ground, but I'm afraid.
The video said, "Imagine having a personal assistant who knows everything about your personal life and work" when referring to Co-Pilot.
It will also limit your ability to charge the device based upon data from the electric company? What kind of orwellian junk is that?
I anticipate a huge market for software that disables all this stuff, unless MS makes it impossible to do that kind of thing.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Yeah man, I'm not really sure of what to make of it. But, Skynet is coming. Skynet is essentially the concept of the web 4.0/5.0.
Be funny if Linux became the OS of the resistance against the machines.

Yeah, now all they have to do is test it. Oh, wait! They haven't been doing that for the last, what, 8-10 years now?

I will not even contemplate Windows 12 with or without "CoPilot" unless I have a contract that pays me enough for the frustration.
I went out to the tech support site for Microsoft. It offered a free 30 day trial of CoPilot, $20/month thereafter. Honestly, I'm on the edge ( I read a lot of SciFi where the characters have AI in their head - but MS is never mentioned  ).
but, $200+ a year?

Yeah, to be honest, I'd be more trusting of AI if all the data was open and not going to one or two companies that have already proven you can't trust them. In its current iteration it's a bit of an overreach IMO.

 Another one gone, I only came to the Allmans through Eric Clapton's "Derek and the Domino's" and the old school record / CD store. I knew of the via 'Layla' and thought 'Hmmm, the guitarist in the Allmans played on Layla, wonder what they are like' and I leave it to you as to what happen next!

Reading a very interesting book Read, Write, Own by Chris Dixon (MIT Press)[^] and it got me thinking about how few sites I actually visit these days.
Remember the old days when there were multiple search engines (altavista, askjeeves, yahoo, lycos, etc.)?
Remember those days when you visited actual web sites instead of just scrolling down a feed on social media?
from Read, Write, Own intro... Starting in the mid-2000s, a small group of big companies wrenched control away. Today the top 1 percent of social networks account for 95 percent of social web traffic and 86 percent of social mobile app use. The top 1 percent of search engines account for 97 percent of search traffic, and the top 1 percent of e-commerce sites account for 57 percent of e-commerce traffic.
Outside of China, Apple and Google account for more than 95 percent of the mobile app store market. In the past decade, the five biggest tech companies grew from about 25 percent to nearly 50 percent of the market capitalization of the Nasdaq-100. Startups and creative people increasingly depend on networks run by megacorporations like Alphabet(parehnt of Google and YouTube), Amazon, Apple, Meta (parent of Facebook & Instagram), and Twitter (rebranded as X) to find customers, build audiences and connect with peers.
The internet got intermediated, in other words. The network went from pemisionless to permissioned.
Well, here's one web site that I stumbled upon yesterday and it really has some great articles: Henrik Warne's blog | Thoughts on programmingβ¦[^]
How many sites would you say you visit each day?
I'm probably at about 6-8 :
codeproject
dev.to
stackoverflow
amazon
linkedin
youtube
oreilly (books)
microsoft dev docs
instructables .com
I use duckduckgo for search
That's about it.
Even though everything is about "curated" content now and a lot of people just want "processed media blocks" to tell them what to view, the old days were more fun, I think.
