Microsoft Teases the Future of Windows as an Agentic OS

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.'
