It’s almost official that Microsoft is working on Windows 12, its new operating system. New hints from Microsoft indicate that this OS will receive a significantly changed design of the taskbar on the desktop. This panel will “float” in Windows 12.
Microsoft is rumored to be preparing for a test launch of a completely new Windows operating system in 2024. As for the timing of its public launch, it was noted that the release could take place in the fall of the same year. It was also noted that a wider release of the new operating system is expected in 2025.
For now, the company is conducting internal experiments with different types of design ideas. Among these ideas is what has been described as a “floating” taskbar. Microsoft is trying to create what has been described as a floating effect for the user’s taskbar, separating it from the desktop. One of the ways Microsoft aims to achieve this floating effect is by rounding the edges of the taskbar.
However, the company has not yet confirmed that Windows 12 exists officially, but the article reports that they are confident that the new operating system will appear in the near future.
Users should be cautious in their expectations, as Microsoft’s plans have typically changed in the past, and that they may continue to change in the future. During the recent Build 2023 developer conference, the company announced numerous updates to Windows 11.
