I don't want to speak to my computer. I don't need AI to perform basic tasks. I don't need my computer usage redefined. Fuck off Pavan.

bill look what they did to your baby

"I think we will see computing become more ambient, more pervasive, continue to span form factors, and certainly become more multi-modal in the arc of time ... I think experience diversity is the next space where we will continue to see voice becoming more important. Fundamentally, the concept that your computer can actually look at your screen and is context aware is going to become an important modality for us going forward."

You could fertilize 200 acres with that much bullshit. truly a crime against the English language.

"Multi modal"

Will it finally be possible to be productive with more that 3 windows open?

The only word I understand in that sentence, in this context, is "pervasive." And given how Windows has really heen driving users away from Windows recently, I am doubtful that it will be more pervasive than previous Windows.

I love Windows 11 (the non-copilot+ version) and am positive on AI, but if they pull through with this vision, I WILL switch to Linux once Win11 support ends.

I think they meant to say "invasive", instead of "pervasive"

I’m sureAI will hit Linux one day . A lot of the toolset for building LLM’s works out of the box. I’ve used Linux for years.

I suspect if AI gets to distros your have 3 sorts of people :

1. Privacy aware and dislike the idea entirely

2. Those that embrace it but only with open weight open source models.

3. Those that use any AI models as long as it’s not too invasive .

I’m probably a solid 1.5

So instead of three simple mouse clicks I'm supposed to say "Open mixer channel 34, then open the second insert plugin, select the unlabeled potentiometer that is located in the second row and kind-of third column, then turn it to 30 %, wait, no, not the amp potentiometer, the unlabeled one in the second row and kind-of third column, no, the one to the left of the current one, no, not this one, not this one, not this one..."

A little bit like early graphic programs where you had to type in coordinates and color values but way slower, unprecise and totally unreliable. Sounds fun, I bet this new Windows will be loved by all musicians and audio engineers and graphic designers and video editors - if they even manage to log into their Microsoft account while suffering from a common cold ("Log me [cough] in with Boat[cough]y[cough]McBoat[cough]face[cough]42!"). Looks like the guys at Microsoft had their final dose of sodium bromide.

yay marketing words!

This means you can expect Windows to get, "verbose, invasive, and difficult-to-use"

Uh. You really gonna force me to switch to Linux, are you?

The company that's obsessed with putting popup tutorials in every fucking app and os function? Ambient my ass, stop lying.

I bet the computer won't function (or at least not properly) without an internet connection.

Am I missing something here? The quotes from said lead don‘t mention „the next Windows“ anywhere. He‘s just thinking out loud about what he thinks working on a computer will be like 5 years from now. This is click bait and I wouldn‘t be surprised if they quietly change the title later on after they farmed enough clicks. Awful.
