Windows to become ‘agentic OS,’ and the internet is having none of it

It seems like people don’t really want to hear about operating systems integrating more AI into the user experience.

Pawan Davuluri, Microsoft’s president of Windows and Devices, posted a tweet promoting an event from the company and promising that Windows will soon evolve to incorporate even more AI. Davuluri posted that Windows will soon have “agents”, which is an AI buzzword that basically means it can perform certain tasks autonomously.

“Windows is evolving into an agentic OS, connecting devices, cloud, and AI to unlock intelligent productivity and secure work anywhere,” he posted on X.

Whatever Davuluri had hoped, people were not thrilled with becoming the “agent” of their operating system.

“It’s growing into a product that’s driving people to Mac and Linux,” read another.

The replies were largely uniform in their disapproval of the announcement.

Another reply from the @EricLengyel account read: “Maybe you should pay attention to the unanimously negative answers here and adjust your goals accordingly.”

It seems that this can almost be said in a nutshell.
