Microsoft Previews planned "Agentic OS" in 2030 Vision, Raising speculation over possible Self-governing Windows System
In the latest episode of our website Podcast, hosts Daniel Rubino and Zac Bowden delve into Microsoft's ambitious vision for Windows in 2030. The podcast covers the role of voice commands, contextual awareness, and agentic systems in the future of Windows.
Microsoft envisions Windows 2030 as an AI-powered platform where human-computer interaction is revolutionized to be more natural and efficient. The operating system will transform into an AI-first, voice-first, and multimodal platform, with traditional input devices like the mouse and keyboard becoming obsolete. AI will serve as an intelligent, agentic assistant managing workflows and tasks through natural language and multiple input modes, effectively acting like a virtual coworker that automates routine work and engages in human-like interactions.
Key aspects of this vision include AI Integration & Multimodal Interactions, AI Agents & Copilot Mode, GPT-5 and AI Models, WinUI and User Interface Evolution, Surface Laptop 7 & Surface Laptop 8, Security & Compatibility, and the implications of WinUI going open source.
In the AI Integration & Multimodal Interactions segment, the podcast discusses how users will interact using voice commands, gestures, and contextual inputs from cameras and microphones, making user experience more natural and seamless beyond typing or clicking.
The AI Agents & Copilot Mode section focuses on AI agents embedded within the OS that will orchestrate applications and workflows across the system. The Copilot Mode, currently in Microsoft Edge, is a precursor to an AI assistant at the OS level that can attend meetings, automate tasks, and understand user intent.
GPT-5, while explicit details about it are not provided, is expected to permeate Microsoft's ecosystem, underpinning the intelligence behind these agentic assistants, powering natural language understanding and context awareness.
The user interface will likewise evolve, likely leveraging WinUI frameworks to support the futuristic, flexible, and multimodal UI envisioned for Windows 2030, blending productivity enhancements with innovative design.
The podcast also expresses hopes and dreams for the Surface Laptop 8, and shares hands-on impressions of the Surface Laptop 7. Microsoft CVP David Weston's claims regarding the end of mouse-and-keyboard computing are also discussed.
The discussions also involve the rise of multimodal, AI-powered interaction.
