‘The computer will see what we see': Microsoft outlines bold AI shift in Windows 2030 vision
Microsoft has released the first in a series of videos outlining its long-term plans for the Windows operating system, under a campaign dubbed the 'Windows 2030 Vision'. The video, published this week, features David Weston, Corporate Vice President of Enterprise and Security at Microsoft, offering a glimpse into what the future of Windows could look like as artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly central to computing. The company appears to be signalling a significant shift in how users interact with their devices. In the video, Weston suggests that by 2030, Windows may be driven by what Microsoft calls agentic AI, a type of AI designed to act on behalf of the user. This evolution could fundamentally alter the desktop experience, potentially reducing reliance on traditional input methods like mouse and keyboard. 'I truly believe the future version of Windows and other Microsoft operating systems will interact in a multimodal way,' Weston said. '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.' He also commented on how conventional computing methods might become outdated, likening the use of a keyboard and mouse in the future to how modern users might perceive MS-DOS, the command-line interface common in the early days of personal computing. While the video does not go into specifics, it builds on earlier comments made by Microsoft executives suggesting that AI could eventually operate within, alongside, and outside of applications. This idea was notably discussed at Microsoft's Build 2023 developer conference, where the company explored how AI might manage files, tasks, and applications more independently through natural language commands. CEO Satya Nadella echoed similar sentiments at the Snapdragon Summit in 2023, where he said AI would 'fundamentally change what an operating system is, what a UI looks like, and how application interaction goes.' Currently, AI in Windows is largely embedded in tools such as Copilot or used within specific applications. However, this new direction points to deeper integration at the operating system level, where AI could play an active, autonomous role in user workflows.

Microsoft teases 'Windows 2030 Vision', says, 'The computer will be able to...'
Representative Image Microsoft has released a new video teasing its " Windows 2030 Vision ". This is the first one in a series of videos, which are expected to be released in the coming days. This new video suggests significant changes for the future of the Windows operating system over the next five years, particularly in the wake of AI. The first episode features David Weston, Microsoft's Corporate VP of Enterprise & Security. In the video, Weston appears to be teasing a new desktop user experience (UX) that would be made possible by agentic AI , which is designed to act on a user's behalf. What Microsoft said about its Windows 2030 Vision In the video , Weston can be saying: '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.' 'The world of mousing and keyboarding around will feel as alien as it does to Gen Z [using] MS-DOS,' he added. However, Weston doesn't go into detail about these potential changes in user experience. Still, he appears to hint at a future where agentic AI becomes a key part of the Windows operating system. In this scenario, Windows may even allow users to interact with their devices and apps through natural language and other input methods, with AI handling much of the orchestration. Previously, Microsoft has suggested that AI could eventually operate inside, beside, and outside apps. This idea, presented at Build 2023 by Steven Bathiche, hints at a future where AI becomes an active part of the Windows OS, where it can manage apps, files, and tasks through voice and natural language input. While current AI tools are mostly embedded within or operate as standalone apps, Microsoft seems to be moving toward deeper OS-level integration, potentially turning AI into an agent that handles workflows on the user's behalf. In the last few years, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has also hinted at similar user interfaces. At the 2023 Snapdragon Summit, he claimed that AI 'will fundamentally change what an operating system is, what a UI looks like, and how application interaction goes,' which further suggests that Windows may be moving in this direction.

Microsoft Previews Windows 2030: A New Era of AI-Powered Computing
Microsoft has shared a new video that seems to be the first of a new series of videos, to be called 'Windows 2030 Vision,' in which the company lays out its five-year plan for the future of Windows. It's curiously alluding to some potentially significant changes that may be coming our way as a Microsoft AI interface. Episode one features Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Enterprise & Security, David Weston. He starts off the video by stating that soon using a mouse and keyboard to navigate will seem as archaic to future generations as MS-DOS does to Gen Z. Sound familiar? It very much seems like right off the bat he's alluding to the potential for a major new desktop UX that could be made possible with the advent of agentic AI. Weston went on to say that the future of Windows OS will likely be much more interactive and natural, with the operating system having the ability to see our environment, hear audio, and react to voice commands to perform much more complicated and advanced operations. Alas, Weston does not expound upon this further, but it very much sounds like he's alluding to a future with agentic AI being a core orchestrator for the next-gen Windows experience, using natural language and user input as a means for interacting with your computer and apps. The company has teased this as a potential future of Windows before. In 2023 the company mapped out three ways it saw AI-powered Windows UI into software. It talked about how AI would be built eventually inside of apps, beside apps, and outside of apps. The talk was delivered by Microsoft technical fellow, Steven Bathiche at Build 2023. We have yet to see an example of Microsoft AI integration outside of apps in the real world. So far every AI product has been Windows 2030 features or service that exists inside another app, or as a standalone app.

Microsoft shares vision for 2030: Windows PCs may soon see, hear and talk
Microsoft has dropped a new video titled 'Windows 2030 Vision', giving consumers a glimpse into how it sees the future of Windows unfolding over the next five years. According to a report by Windows Central, the video is expected to be part of an ongoing series, and if the first episode is anything to go by, some major changes could be on the way — with AI leading the charge. The video features David Weston, Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Enterprise and Security. He opens with a bold statement: 'The world of mousing and keyboarding around will feel as alien as it does to Gen Z [using] MS-DOS.' That clearly hints at a big change in how we might use our PCs in the future — possibly moving away from traditional mouse and keyboard setups. Weston then goes on to say, '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.' Although he does not get into details, as per his statement, it sounds like Microsoft is imagining a Windows where an AI assistant does not just live inside an app but runs across the entire system. Instead of clicking through menus, you would talk to your PC and it would understand what you want — kind of like giving instructions to a smart assistant that controls everything on your screen. Though there is a 'Stark' difference, it seems like in five years, everyone will have a Jarvis-like assistant of their own. This is not the first time Microsoft has floated such ideas. Back in 2023 at its Build developer conference, Microsoft explained three ways AI would shape the future of software: AI inside apps, beside apps, and outside apps, Windows Central reported. That last one — AI outside apps — has not really happened yet. So far, AI tools are mostly features within apps or standalone services. We have not seen an operating system where AI is deeply built into the OS itself, controlling apps and managing workflows as an always-on assistant. However, it does seem like that's where Microsoft is headed. With the rise of AI-powered web browsers that manage tabs and sessions for you, the next logical step is to extend that intelligence to the whole OS. Instead of switching between apps, files, or windows manually, you could just say what you need — and let Copilot do the rest. We do not have an official announcement from Microsoft yet, but between Build 2023 and this new video, the signals are there. Microsoft seems to be gearing up for a future where AI is not just a tool, but the main way we interact with Windows.
