Finally, the Windows 12 will not have the classic start menu, but hopefully Classic Shell is updated in time to work on Windows 12. Instead of that pesky, hard to use interface that is admittedly more beautiful but to no practical end, Windows 12 could have a new amazing feature of going back to the Windows 7 start menu that Open Shell and Classic Shell have kept alive all these years through 3 progressively worse iterations of Microsoft Windows.

Never coming to Windows 12 will be the new built-in task list manager that increases your productivity dramatically by integrating your daily tasks directly with Windows 12 in a way never before possible - and still not possible. With this feature that will never happen, it will intelligently use AI to arrange your tasks in the most productive order possible, and analyze your mood, desires, goals, and motivations to guide you through building a life plan, and helping you make your goals real by designing all the steps for you and guiding you along each day, with achievements for task completion and progress bars toward your goals. Oh I can dream.

Because it's not needed, but imagine a developer who could have AI instantly set up their environment, remember their preferences, and arrange everything to maximize productivity. Instead of using an app that has to be installed and configured, anyone can become a developer, and it even would include coding tutorials so everyone can get in on the AI revolution and use open-source collaboration to make the world a better place. Not coming to Windows 12 at a store near you.

Instead of perpetual forever-licenses for essential software like Office, Microsoft finally didn't find their ethics to decide to make the essential Office features completely free for everyone. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook are no longer paid, and no longer tracking, and no longer have to be activated. It's the full version, and it's free. Not coming to Windows 12 anytime soon.

Maybe this would happen, but probably not. Windows 12 will probably not have a live clock background that is transposed in big numbers over your background of choice. This might cause you to be more productive, which would go against Microsoft's strategy of decreasing productivity in as many ways as possible.

Since Microsoft makes its billions elsewhere, it has decided to once again not offer a permanent, tracker-free Windows 12 license, completely for free to everyone on Earth. While the Windows 10 and 11 license were offered free, it was to install spyware. The Windows 12 license that will not be free will be the trackerless spyware-free version of Windows 12.

Never coming to Windows 12 near you, Windows 7 or Windows XP mode can be activated, and a slightly modernized interface of the exact Windows 7 and Windows XP (e.g., with full dark mode and improved icons), and be as fast or as speedy as Windows 7 or XP, because it will really be that OS when you click the 7 or XP modes. In 1 click, you could have this awesome feature that will never come to Windows 12.

More than just a subsystem, Windows 12 will not have a fully featured Linux mode where with one click you can have any Linux distribution of your choice seamlessly integrated with Windows to run in parallel, as if you were on a fully Linux system, without losing all the benefits of Windows like the taskbar and Windows apps and gaming performance.

Instead of 3 icons in the top left, there will be a 4th, which allows you to either configure with one click to place the window in the optimal position using AI, or left you look at it and track your eyes to tell it where to go, to drastically speed productivity. While this idea might be made by some 3rd party reading this, it almost certainly will not be made by Microsoft in Windows 12.

Instead of adding more biometrics and tracking, with one click it erases all data Microsoft ever had about you and sends a virus to the internet to wipe the internet of all traces of you that you don't want, except for your personal social media and things you actually made yourself. No more tracking by big corporations, big tech, advertisers, credit agencies, and people who want your data and money.

One of the top features that will not come to Windows 12 will be a truly trackerless AI that simply does what you tell it and answers you without arguing or complaining or giving you unsolicited ethical advice about how your grandma's cookies could be harmful. With this feature that will never exist, you can simply type into the window any question you ever dreamed of, and it will ask ChatGPT, with no account, no signup, and no tracking. It's a service to humanity.

The most coveted feature that will not be coming to Windows 12 will be the one-click button to disable all Microsoft spyware. This would be located in an easy to find place, and also opted out by default. This way, there would be up updates and no Microsoft telemetry, spying on you, or saving any of your data, zero intrusiveness, and you are left alone with your Windows computer, unless you choose to give all your data to Microsoft of your own free will. Some people will choose this. Most won't.
