Microsoft Copilot OS revealed in LEAKED video: Lightweight Windows OS exploration features new desktop UI built entirely around Copilot and agentic AI

Microsoft is exploring a dedicated AI operating system called Aion, which integrates Microsoft Edge and a new lightweight Windows codebase known as Win3. Aion features a fresh desktop user interface with a Taskbar that includes a "Spaces" feature for organizing applications and websites. It is designed to run exclusively web apps and websites, leveraging Windows 365 for access to traditional desktop applications. The video suggests a version of Aion may operate atop Windows 11, potentially supporting native Windows applications, but the version shown is based on the Win3 codebase, which does not support legacy Win32 apps. The video is reportedly from 2024, and the future of Aion remains uncertain, though elements of its capabilities are being integrated into Windows 11. Microsoft has also introduced Project Solara, which offers an adaptive agentic OS experience, raising questions about the relationship between Aion and Solara.

This free Pixel app is the reason I canceled my AI note-taking subscription

Sanuj Bhatia from Android Authority highlights the capabilities of Google’s Pixel Recorder app, which he found effective enough to cancel his subscription to a paid AI note-taking service. The app, upgraded with Gemini Nano technology in the Pixel 9 series, can record audio and generate live transcripts with punctuation and grammar corrections, identifying multiple speakers during meetings. It integrates with a web application for easy access to recordings and transcripts on desktop devices. The app processes data on-device, ensuring privacy, which is advantageous for professionals handling sensitive information. While it has limitations, such as not being able to join meetings virtually and lacking collaborative features, it is considered a reliable and cost-efficient alternative to traditional AI note-taking tools.

Microsoft says it’ll force install Microsoft 365 Copilot on Windows 11 with MS 365 Business in the next 30 days

Microsoft is reintroducing the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, which will automatically install on eligible Windows PCs with Microsoft 365 desktop applications between mid-June and mid-July. Users in the European Economic Area will not be affected by this automatic installation. Admins can opt out of the automatic integration. The app will be activated by default, requiring no user intervention. Microsoft is not using the Windows Store for this installation; instead, it relies on the built-in Microsoft 365 Apps updater. Users can disable Copilot features on a case-by-case basis in specific Office apps or change privacy settings to block Copilot functionalities. Microsoft has also made Classic plans available in select regions for users who want a version without Copilot. Administrators can use Office policy settings to block connected experiences that drive Copilot functionalities but must opt out through the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center to prevent installation.

I used Windows 11 exactly the way Microsoft wanted, and it drove me crazy

The author customized their Windows experience by changing the default browser, decluttering the Start menu, and preventing OneDrive from managing their files. They recently set up Windows 11 on a new mini PC and initially allowed OneDrive to back up their files, which led to confusion about file locations. They found Windows Search frustrating, as it redirected them to Microsoft's web version despite choosing a different search provider. The author refrained from altering Microsoft's recommended defaults, which made the system feel more aligned with Microsoft's agenda rather than their own needs. After three days, they reverted to their usual practices to regain control over their Windows experience.
