What will the next Windows be like?

Microsoft has released a new podcast video titled “The Next Chapter of Windows” on its official YouTube channel for Windows IT Pros. It features Pavan Davuluri, head of Microsoft’s Windows and Devices division, as a guest, who interviews host Christiaan Brinkhoff, who is the Artificial Intelligence Product Manager in Redmond.

During the talk, which was about “exploring Windows past, present, and future,” Davuluri shared his vision for what the future version of Windows will look like.

He expects voice commands to be a big part of the future, something that most Windows users aren't used to. Typically, computer users use a keyboard and mouse, but that will evolve in Microsoft's future operating system.

It states:

“I think we’re going to see computing become more environmental, more pervasive, continue to meet more needs, and certainly become more multimodal over time… I think diversity of experiences is the next area where we’re going to continue to see voice become much more important.”

Davuluri also added how AI features like Copilot Vision, which is able to “look at your screen,” will help Microsoft achieve its goal of Windows becoming “more ambient, more pervasive, more multimodal,” so that your computer can “semantically understand” you:

“Essentially, the idea that your computer can actually look at your screen and be aware of context is going to be a major method for us in the future. … you’ll be able to talk to your computer while you’re writing, inking, or interacting with another person. You should be able to have a computer semantically understand your intent to interact with it.”

Although the statements were made in the first person, as if to indicate that it is a personal opinion and may not be representative of Microsoft's official vision, we can say that the idea is largely aligned with what the company as a whole wants to do with the next major version of Windows.

In fact, the AI-enabled Windows experience is something Microsoft has had in mind for a very long time.

Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
