Windows 12 ARM/UX Vision – A New Era for New Era for Portable Devices

Windows 12 ARM/UX is not meant to be another copy of iOS or Android. It is a bold return of Windows to ARM/UX devices, built on the same unified core as desktop Windows, optimized for ARM, and designed to be fast, clean, and secure.

🔹 Core Principles
1.     Unified Kernel
•     Same Windows core as desktop, optimized for ARM (Qualcomm, MediaTek, Exynos).
•     Easier development and consistent performance across devices.
2.     No Translation Layers
•     No EXE emulation in sandbox.
•     Sandbox reserved only for AI tasks running locally or in the cloud.
3.     Android Compatibility
•     Efficient support for Android apps.
•     iOS compatibility excluded to keep the system lean.
4.     Pure and Modular System
•     No unnecessary pre‑installed apps.
•     Copilot and system apps downloaded only when the user needs them.
•     System size capped at ~15 GB.
5.     Lumia‑Level Imaging
•     High‑quality photos and videos, with advanced codecs and stabilization.
•     AI photo editing runs locally in sandbox, never sent to the cloud.
6.     DirectX Optimized for ARM
•     DirectX as the graphics foundation, tuned for ARM GPUs.
•     Balanced CPU/GPU load to prevent overheating and preserve performance.
7.     Security First
•     Enhanced Windows Defender with phishing protection for social networks.
•     Windows Hello+ with ultrasonic fingerprint and retina unlock.
8.     Smart Power Management
•     When the screen is off, only essential tasks run (~0.1% CPU for notifications).
•     Camera and microphone disabled by default for privacy.
•     User can allow exceptions if needed.
9.     Payments
•     Support for Google Pay.
•     Option for a new Microsoft Pay that combines Microsoft and Google accounts.
10.     Productivity Incentive
•     Free access to Microsoft Office apps for one year as a launch bonus.

🔹 Why This Matters
•     Not another clone – Windows 12 ARM/UX would stand apart with its own identity.
•     Developer‑friendly – unified kernel, modular services, and clear APIs.
•     User‑first – privacy, performance, and productivity at the core.
•     Future‑ready – AI, cloud, and ARM optimization built in from day one.
