A senior Microsoft exec says future Windows versions will offer more interactive, ‘multimodal’ experiences

A senior Microsoft executive, Pavan Davuluri, indicated that future versions of Windows, potentially Windows 12, will feature a more "multimodal" experience utilizing on-device AI capabilities. He highlighted the integration of features like Copilot in Windows and M365 Copilot to enhance user interaction, particularly through voice input and natural language processing. Davuluri predicted that computing will become more ambient and pervasive, with voice interaction becoming more prominent. While speculation about Windows 12 grows, Microsoft is set to release a significant update for Windows 11, known as 25H2, later this year, as Windows 11 has only recently surpassed Windows 10 in global user count.
