Laptop manufacturers may be in for an early Christmas present, as a recent leak suggests that Windows 12 could make its debut as early as June 2024. This news bodes well for the PC and laptop market, which experienced a slump post the Covid-19 pandemic. The surge in PC and laptop purchases during the work-from-home transition gradually waned, resulting in decreased sales. However, the introduction of a new operating system could potentially revive these sales. According to the report, the June 2024 launch date for Windows 12 was discussed at the Taiwan Medical Technology Exhibition in Taipei. Quanta Computer Chairman Barry Lam reportedly mentioned, 'next summer, when Microsoft launches a new generation of Windows operating systems, AI PCs will also be launched one after another.' While the origin of the June 2024 date is not entirely clear in the report, and Microsoft has not officially disclosed its Windows 12 plans, there is optimism within the PC industry that this aligns with Microsoft's strategy. Past rumors have also hinted at a 2024 launch date. A robust operating system with innovative features, if executed effectively, has the potential to encourage users to upgrade their hardware. The success of Microsoft in achieving this goal remains uncertain.
