Draft:Windows 12
Upcoming version of Windows From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Windows 12 is the speculated name for an upcoming major release of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft. Microsoft has not officially announced Windows 12, and speculation and leaks suggesting it would be released in 2024[1] may have been referring to the 24H2 update to Windows 11,[2] which was based on a new platform and changed the system requirements.[3]

Comment: This is a pretty clear failure of WP:NOTCRYSTALBALL. Wikipedia is not a website for unverified product rumours about future versions of Windows. Reading the sources, there's no real information about Windows 12. It hasn't even been announced yet. I'll quote the relevant paragraph of the linked policy here:
Bold is from the original, italics are mine. Chess (talk) (please useWikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. Although Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist of only product announcement information and rumors are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable.
