Windows 12 System Requirements in a nutshell

CPU: at least 16 cores, 32 threads and higher than 2020 released
RAM: at least 64GB DDR5 9990
Storage: at least 64TB
Security: Secure Boot, TPM 3.0, Pluton chip

Windows 12 isn't out yet, even leaks of it. This post isn't serious. but, if MS uses it, it is totally overkill.

Darn. I thought the Windows 12 Starter Pack picture, would make it obvious that this wasn't a serious post. :-)

The last time I had fish and chips was at an Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips. I don't even know if the chain still exists. It's been over 22 years.

Road Trip!
From a high of 800 stores it's down to 1. The last Treacher's is in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio near Akron.

The wife and I liked Treacher's and Ponderosa was good as well.

Windows 12 will have an invisible task bar with invisible icons that you can launch telepathically. The telepathically bit is quite important or you wouldn't be able to find the icons to launch them (which is an issue I keep having with Windows 11 icons disappearing).
