14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently announced a new Windows 11 feature update and is believed to be working on Windows 12, but a skilled concept designer out there has decided to go way ahead and envision what could be the upcoming Windows 23.
The concept created by designer AR 478 comes with lots of customization options, and in many ways, it’s precisely what users are expecting Windows to eventually become.
In other words, it’s an operating system built to address the customer feedback, coming with plenty of customization options in the most essential areas.
For instance, the taskbar can be moved across the screen on either side (surprisingly, the floating taskbar that Microsoft is believed to be working on is not part of the concept). In addition, the Start menu can also be relocated to the right part of the screen, while the Settings app comes with lots of new options to customize the OS.
Because it’s an operating system developed to address the feedback from users, Windows 23 also includes a Windows XP visual style, as well as Cortana, the digital assistant that Microsoft has also turned into a second-class citizen in its operating system.
Meanwhile, Microsoft itself says Windows 11 is built entirely on user feedback.
“With last year’s launch of Windows 11 we gave the PC a modern refresh, making it faster and easier for you to accomplish the tasks you have relied on your PCs for most. We added foundational security built into Windows at home and at work to help keep you safe and with Windows 365, we took Windows to the cloud, empowering organizations to stream the full Windows experience on any device. More people are using Windows and spending more time on their PCs. In fact, Windows 11 is the most used and most loved version of Windows ever; this is both humbling and energizing for the team and I,” Panos Panay, Chief Product Officer at Microsoft, said.
