Microsoft unveiled various projects during its Ignite 2022 conference, dedicated to innovation, but several screenshots stood out in particular. These screenshots show a Windows environment that's very different from the one we currently know. In fact, this interface seemed somewhat reminiscent of macOS!

Could Microsoft have unveiled the first image of its next version of Windows, code-named "Next Valley"? During its showcase, the American manufacturer revealed a surprising image of an evolved Windows interface, with a floating taskbar at the bottom of the screen, a floating search space at the top of the screen and the weather on the left.
