“Five major tech companies, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Microsoft, have launched AI chatbots specifically for consumer health support in 2026.”
The specific claim that five major tech companies launched consumer health chatbots in 2026 is not supported by the evidence. Multiple credible sources confirm dedicated health AI products from only three companies: Anthropic (Claude for Healthcare), OpenAI (ChatGPT Health), and Microsoft (Copilot Health). A possible fourth (Amazon) is weakly documented by a single source describing a different type of tool, and no fifth company launch is substantiated. The numerical assertion — the claim's defining element — is unverified.
“Windows 12 is scheduled to launch in 2026.”
Windows 12 is not scheduled to launch in 2026. The rumor traces back to a single PCWorld article that was retracted by its own publisher for failing editorial standards. The highest-authority tech outlets — Windows Central and PC Gamer — cite direct Microsoft sources confirming there is no plan to ship Windows 12 this year. The "Hudson Valley" codename fueling speculation was actually Windows 11 24H2, which already shipped. Microsoft has made zero official announcements about Windows 12; expert projections point to 2027 at the earliest.
