Microsoft Teases the Future of Windows as an Agentic OS 127

Posted by msmash from the shape-of-things-to-come dept.
An anonymous reader shares a report: Microsoft has published a new video that appears to be the first in an upcoming series of videos dubbed "Windows 2030 Vision," where the company outlines its vision for the future of Windows over the next five years. It curiously makes references to some potentially major changes on the horizon, in the wake of AI.

This first episode features David Weston, Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Enterprise & Security, who opens the video by saying "the world of mousing and keyboarding around will feel as alien as it does to Gen Z [using] MS-DOS."

Right out of the gate, it sounds like he's teasing the potential for a radical new desktop UX made possible by agentic AI. Weston later continues, "I truly believe the future version of Windows and other Microsoft operating systems will interact in a multimodal way. The computer will be able to see what we see, hear what we hear, and we can talk to it and ask it to do much more sophisticated things."

      It will not be the chatter that kills this but the input bandwidth. Even if you assume it would allow you to set up some "verbal macros" to execute when a single word is spoken I can still click mouse buttons faster than I can speak words. The same goes for output bandwidth but even more so - it is much, much faster to see diagrams, buttons and read text then it is to listen to the computer speak information.

      I can see this being useful in limited applications - such as in-car systems where a verbal inface and lowing bandiwicth would be a huge benefit. However, I cannot see it replacing a regular desktop/laptop OS.

      You just ruled out Windows in about four different ways. I'd wager your sentiments are far, far more common than MS's focus groups are telling them.. which is why they seem to continually be at a loss as to why people don't want to upgrade, and why their market share is falling over time (albeit far slower than it should).

      • Focus group results are subject to two pretty obvious problems. One is that the kind of people who want to do them and have time to do them are not usually the people you actually want input from. Two is that the criteria for selecting focus group members can be selected for the purpose of getting a desired result, you read research that says certain types of people want certain things and then you select people like that to give positive feedback for your shitty ideas.

        • Fair enough, but the point of my post was that MS has a bit of a tendency to bet big on silly ideas then act surprised when they fail. Fail in spectacular and expensive fashion.

    I asked ChatGPT to help me get a string of LED lights to work. I spent half an hour following the instructions; I tried the Tuya app and the first party app, made a dummy account, tried the AP-mode instead of the BT-LE mode...never, ever got them to connect properly. I gave it the exact model number on the back of the unit, I gave it links to the exact product, I told it the quantity and color of wires in the lead, and I was still on the version 4 model. It helpfully recommended the QuinLED Dig Quad board, a super cool ESP32-based controller to replace the craptastic Tuya garbage that came with it.

    I waited a week for the board to arrive, and I connected it all up...spent an hour of faffing around with no ability to control color or brightness...only to find out that after ALL of that, the Dig Quad was the wrong board because these were analog LEDs rather than digital ones.

    ...So now, Microsoft wants to tell me that they're going to totally overhaul Windows to use *so much AI*, that it will basically be able to read my mind and do what I want it to do by me giving it vague parameters, and then being accurate? They're pitching Jarvis as something they'll have working properly in four years, to the point will actively want to be talking to their computer (along with everyone else in their adjacent cubicles), and it'll be desirable...but today, the models can't accurately assess which LED controller to recommend when given EVERY piece of information that an informed CSR would provide?

    ...Given that very few people use Copilot by choice, and given that previous attempts to overhaul Windows have been niche at best (almost 15 years into touch-based computing and *how many* Windows users leverage a touch screen even 20% of the time?), and given that existing models are useful but far from indispensable, and being that there is already a growing resentment from the sheer volume of "AI Slop" that's making the internet even less desirable to use for many.

      Presumably there will also still be vintage computing nerds in the future.

  • Me: Hey windows 12, why you send all my UK CBDC gov moneys to a random email address? Windows12: You pointed at a QR code when playing cdgo and I asked you in French if you wanted to do what it said and you replied by shaking your head hocher la tête that in French is yes. so I just scanned all your pics for 12 and 24 word combos and send them to the email address you said to. Me: thanks windows 12.

  • I don't want to talk to my computer. It's not a person.

  • But the timing of it is all wrong.

    All this stuff about talking to your computer to use it, telling your ai to do whatever for you want, and having an agent do boring work like tabulating a spreadsheet is a good pie in the sky goal.

    This is selling ai fluff to shareholders, using accessibility features as leverage.

    They already added the animal friends for it:

    The AI cybersecurity scanner he's pushing is going to be a glorified copy of windows defender. We're probably going to h

  • ...and send it all to Microsoft to be used to "personalize your experience"... after they sell it all to anyone who wants to be even more invasive.

  • The usage might not be what you think, that is replacing how to tell the computer to do what. The usage might be more like we are expected to use AI, pay a subscription for you to be told to do what.

  • I remember a long time ago where Microsoft was screaming "we going to implement amazing feature X in the next release of Windows". Everybody would wait for the next release of Windows. Then it arrived without amazing feature X, but it sure got everybody to switch to the next release of Windows, as opposed to the competition.

  • No thanks, fuckwits

  • for non-bullshit-AI OSes like Linux.

  • "the world of mousing and keyboarding around will feel as alien as it does to Gen Z [using] MS-DOS"

    I'm pretty sure Bill Gates wrote more or less the same thing in his 1995 book "The Road Ahead". He was wrong then, I'm not confident they are right now.

  • Sounds like M$ is busy giving everyone more and more reasons to switch away from WinDOS once security patch support is gone for W10⦠while they are busy creating their new BOB 2.0!

  • It was called Cortana and it was junk

  • I've been evaluating copilot's web version. It can manage doc analysis, so-so.

    Don't ask it shit about windows, though. I spent most of a morning testing it and prompting for windows config changes. It was about 60% for directions requiring the UI and a got perfect 0% for registry stuff. I knows jackshit and can't be relied upon for technical stuff.

  • I still program and do database development and will continue to do so for as long as I'm able. But this is a truly ridiculous idea, and if somehow it ever becomes a reality, I'll be long gone from the job market before this particular stupidity happens.
