Microsoft confirms name of the next major version of Windows, and it's not Windows 12

Crossposting the @windows11 link as it should relate to this mag too:

Windows 11 version 24H2 will be the name of the next major Windows OS update.

From what I'm getting from wincentral's previous articles, the lingo sprinkled throughout their coverage have meanings per the below:

"Hudson Valley" is the upcoming Windows client (GUI), previously "Next Valley"?
"Germanium" is the Windows platform already in Canary/Dev channel (kernel), which will be version 24H2
"Windows 12" is still what they're calling the next major Windows product/OS release (not feature update)

...so at this point in time, Hudson Valley + some element after germanium might be what is considered Windows 12?
