Windows 12.1

Windows 12.1 was a Windows 12 to Windows 13 transitional operating system. It was intended to be a final version of Windows NT. It was praised for the new interface. Over the years, however, it became subject to heavy criticism over its aging kernel and rushed development, with many opting to keep using Windows 12 or simply wait for Windows 13. The operating system's low popularity gave it the nickname "NT ME."
== History ==
By 2027, as development of new kernel was stalled, it was obvious that a stop-gap version would have to be developed in time for 2028. Thus, Windows 12.1 was developed.
After a rushed 8 months of development, it was finished and launched on September 28, 2027, as a major update to Windows 12 users.
At first, Windows 12.1 was praised by many users because of it new UI though it wasn't a huge update. But, as time pass by, many users recognized that the "beautiful" new UI is actually bad for its response speed. The softwares ran on computers with Windows 12.1 even crashed more often. It sometimes even crashes just for some simple actions. As the BSOD appeared more often, the users gave it a nickname "NT ME".
