Microsoft is pushing AI even more into windows' core. It should be an optional thing for consumer, I don't need windows with AI, I just need Window's Direct X to play games, dang it!
read from windows central:
Microsoft's current head of Windows, Pavan Davuluri, has posted on X saying that the future of the platform is one that is "evolving into an agentic OS," weeks after the company reorganized the Windows division internally to better position it to bring an AI-powered Windows to market.
The post is more about Microsoft Ignite and how customers are using Windows as an AI platform, but it does reaffirm Microsoft's plans to push Windows into becoming an agentic OS, one that the company has teased multiple times over the last few months.
The post has seen major pushback from people online, with various opinions all stating roughly the same thing. Nobody wants an AI powered version of Windows. "Stop this non-sense. No one wants this," reads one post. "Bro, straight up, nobody wants this," reads another.
In fact, a majority of the replies to Davuluri's tweet are negative, with a handful showing optimism about the future of Windows. The rest? Nobody is interested or thinks Microsoft deserves to be trying to turn Windows into an AI-first agentic platform.
This doesn't appear to be a small vocal minority, either. In almost all coverage about the future of Windows being an agentic one, a large chunk of reactions from people are often pushing back against Microsoft's vision. "You are getting overwhelmingly negative feedback about all this AI stuff. And yet you persevere. Why?" asks one X user.
It's clear that Windows' reputation is at an all time low right now, and Microsoft's insistence on pushing towards an AI-powered future is not helping things. Many customers want Windows to be a platform that gets out of the way, but the last few years have seen Windows become enshittified in unapologetic ways.
