  Yup, I want “unobtrusive, lightweight, compatible, and secure.” Basically, the best case for an OS is that I don’t notice it.

    Windows XP was the greatest OS of all time.

    All we’re doing now is wandering away from perfection.

        Windows 7 was peak. OpenShell for the win.

  Good thing he didn’t actually say it would be the next Windows doing any of those things. He didn’t even say it would be the OS:

  “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.”

  The important and scarier part is actually the last sentence, not anything from the article title.

    Well put. I confess that my hot take was based on skimming the title of the article, and as you note, their vision is even more dystopian. Fire the pixels onto the screen and forget about them, I say!

    MORE pervasive? Everyone is already buried in their phones ffs.

      Probably code for more ads

  Depending on what the hell “ambient” means in this context that one might be okay. The other two though, eww.
