Microsoft to Make Windows Agentic for New Web Experience

Microsoft is transforming Windows into an agentic AI platform, a significant evolution in its operating system history. At the Microsoft Build 2025 event, CEO Satya Nadella discussed the need to update legacy internet systems for the rise of AI agents, likening this phase of generative AI to past technological revolutions. Microsoft is developing an ‘agentic web’ to allow intelligent agents to interact with data and users. To support this, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), developed by Anthropic, will be embedded in Windows, enabling AI agents like GitHub Copilot to perform tasks beyond code generation, such as installing software and modifying system settings with user consent. Microsoft introduced Foundry Local, a tool that allows AI features to run offline on PCs, enhancing response times and privacy. The company also launched Copilot Tuning, enabling enterprises to customize AI agents using their own data and workflows. Additionally, Microsoft announced NLWeb, an open standard to convert any website into an agentic platform, facilitating AI agents' understanding and interaction with web content. Microsoft is collaborating with companies like Tripadvisor to implement NLWeb for autonomous travel arrangements.

Microsoft Build 2025: What to expect, from Azure to Copilot upgrades

Microsoft's annual Build developer conference will occur from May 19 to 22, focusing on new AI integrations, services, and applications for Windows. Last year's conference featured the integration of Copilot into Microsoft Teams and the introduction of AI-powered PCs. This year, deeper integrations of Copilot generative AI are expected, catering to consumer and enterprise needs. Keynotes will be streamed online for free. Microsoft raised prices on various software products by 5% last November and may use new AI features to justify these increases. Copilot is anticipated to have significant enhancements, with reports suggesting Microsoft is considering alternative AI models from xAI, Meta, Anthropic, and DeepSeek. Copilot may gain “agentic” capabilities for executing basic PC tasks, with references to an Action button found in the Copilot client for Windows. Microsoft is rumored to have developed a suite of models called MAI to compete with OpenAI’s offerings, potentially to be unveiled at Build. There are also rumors about a successor to the Azure Maia 100 AI Accelerator, possibly named “Maia 2,” with Marvell contracted for its production.

Microsoft’s aggressive ad strategy, Windows 10’s death, and Copilot+ PCs have FINALLY pushed Windows 11’s market share to an all-time high since launch

Windows 11 now has a market share of 30.83%, while Windows 10's share has decreased to 65%. The increase in Windows 11's market share is attributed to the upcoming end of support for Windows 10 and interest in AI-powered PCs. The end of support for Windows 10 is scheduled for October 14, 2025. Users need a Copilot+ PC to access the latest AI features in the 24H2 release of Windows 11. Windows 11's adoption has been slow due to strict system requirements and design issues. Analysts believe that the end of Windows 10 and the rise of AI PCs may encourage upgrades to Windows 11. However, AI tools have not yet seen widespread use, and many AI projects may be abandoned by 2025. Microsoft is facing scrutiny over its expenses versus profits, leading some users to consider the extended security update program for Windows 10. The discontinuation of Windows 10 may lead to a significant increase in discarded computers, raising concerns about sustainability. There is a trend of users moving from Windows to Linux, indicating areas for improvement in Microsoft's offerings. Microsoft has created a webpage to highlight Windows 11 features and assist users in purchasing new laptops.
