Windows is back in the Microsoft menu.

Last Microsoft Home Windows I can’t remember when the Build keynote was started, but this week’s CEO Satya Nadella did it. Nadera did not touch the problem that Microsoft has solved on Windows 11, and instead decided to define the audience by calling Microsoft’s sophisticated Surface RTX Spark development kit as “Dream Machine”. Windows Back to Microsoft Menu

Microsoft focused on Windows at the annual Build Developer Conference. Microsoft focused on Windows at the annual Build Developer Conference. Nvidia Just a few days after officially returning to Windows on Arm with the new RTX Spark chip, Nadella announced the new Surface Hardware. It’s clear that RTX Spark will promote local AI workloads in a way that prior to Microsoft’s Copilot Plus PC has not yet managed. This week’s Build was positioned as a very important part of Microsoft’s AI agent’s efforts and clearly conveyed that message. The original mission of Microsoft under the Bill Gates administration was to put the computer on all desks and all homes, but Nadera recalled it as “intelligence that is not installed on all desks and all homes” within minutes after the keynote speech. With this, Microsoft and Nvidia are ready to position new Windows PCs as a potential solution for expensive usage-based pricing for cloud-based AI models. As the ability of local computing increases, a clear gap that can be filled with powerful hardware that Microsoft and Nvidia actually owns. Pavan Davuluri, responsible for Windows, is responsible for building the best AI stack possible on Windows. “It’s clear that it’s the best possible AI stack on the cloud.” Davuluri believes that Microsoft is in a good position to utilize hybrid computing. In hybrid computing, chips like RTX Spark process many local workloads and intelligently transfer to the cloud when more powerful things are needed. Nvidia CEO Gスn Huang is even more keen for local AI computing. He wants to turn the PC into a convenient device for the user and eliminate the idle time when the PC is turned off or when the PC is not used. “When you need to do something on your laptop in the future, you just need to send a text message on WhatsApp,” Juan said earlier this week. "No need to run everything in the cloud." It is free if you can run locally.

It seems that Nadera also agrees. “It’s amazing to see the コンピューティング computing power on the edge,” he said at the Build Keynote. "Totaling all PCs is a huge computing power.

The power is actually on Nvidia’s new RTX Spark chip and will be on a variety of laptops and small PCs for creators in the second half of this year. RTX Spark lets you run large-scale language models with 12 billion parameters locally so you can run many AI workloads without touching the cloud. This is a fascinating concept for developers and consumers, as AI’s financing continues. Microsoft combines its own Surface Laptop Ultra targeted developers and creators with continuous improvements in Windows 11 performance and additional features for developers. Microsoft on Windows this week Linux The introduction of the utility deeply did not generate a response to the audience of the cheerness as announced in 2019, but the developers I talked about are excited to add Coreutils and WSL containers. Surface Laptop Ultra is also a topic among developers and power users. Microsoft is not fully positioned as the mainstream premium laptop, but it is sure that there is a room to appeal to developers far beyond. "I think we can understand that STEM and CAD applications running on the platform work well. “They use the same characteristic pattern of high-performance computing,” said Davuluri. All of these new focuses on Windows in Microsoft seemed impossible just six months ago. Davuluri designed to focus on OS performance, reliability and overall experience in just a few months ago to meet the pressure to Microsoft for improved Windows 11. In this week’s Build, we were able to see some improvements in performance, such as comparing the start and taskbar loads faster. Microsoft has made great efforts to improve Windows 11 and listen to feedback from various users. But I was wondering why Microsoft does not migrate to Windows 12. It seems that it is easier to recognize the defeat in Windows 11 and position Windows 12 as a remedy. Microsoft has been doing this many times, especially in Windows 7 and Windows 10 releases. There are many considerations when thinking about version control of the operating system itself. For us, saying Windows 11, or frankly, Windows 12, or a lot of core suggestions about the labels we use, we think that end users and end users are related to how they use products and their workflows,” says Davuluri. “We are focused on improving the product experience in the situation where users use it.” We believe that it is important to us.

Though Windows 12 doesn’t get ready, I’m interested in how this Windows is going to be in the AI agent world. Microsoft reveals that Windows is considered to be the home of AI agents and workloads, but this week, Project Solara, a new platform for agent-first devices, was announced. Microsoft has demonstrated a smart employee key card that can execute agents that can transfer and recognize real-world objects. with AI agent Amazon We also released a reference design for devices like Echo Show. It is clear that Microsoft wants to provide a platform for future dedicated AI devices. Project Solara device is not Windows Android The version is installed. Davuluri expects Project Solara to run on Windows devices. “We’re not strictly bound by the device-specific operating system,” said Davuluri. Imagine that Solara has a great performance on many platforms, including Windows, on both local Windows 11 and cloud Windows 365 instances.

The future of an AI agent may be run on Windows, run on Android, or run on other things at this time, but it may not be important. Microsoft seems to be the first time in the past few years to be determined to put Windows at the center of the discussion. Build 2026 was convinced by the developer that Windows still plays an important role in the future of AI, not to solve the problem of the past of Windows. Pads

- Microsoft OpenAI I decided. Now they are ready to fight. Microsoft announced a large number of new or extended AI initiatives in this week’s Build. MAI- ing-1, the first reasoning model of Microsoft, was the main addition, and it also added six new models that focus on image, audio, text, and coding. Mr. Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, told me that these models are part of a larger initiative to prove that Microsoft is the top AI model creator. - Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra and Surface Dev Box In this week’s Build, we had the opportunity to learn more about both Surface Laptop Ultra and Surface RTX Spark Dev Box. Microsoft has installed miniature headphones to demonstrate how the Nvidia’s RTX Spark chips are bright, as well as how the Laptop Ultra screen is bright. A complete decomposition of components in Laptop Ultra, as well as the tradition of the Surface event. Not only the ease of repair, but also the internal details are impressive. - Microsoft's next-generationチップntum chip reduces time to enable useful子ntum computing. Microsoft announced the latest Mayorana 2 chip using a new material stack that promises to realize子ntum computing early this week. Microsoft claims that by鉛 from aluminum to lead, the performance of theのパフォーマンスntum bit, which is the information unit of子ntum computing, similar to the binary bit used by the computer today. Physics have been skep in Microsoft's first claim on Mayorana No.1, so some people have again wondered the company's goal of useful子ntum computing by 2029. - Microsoft Scout is a new AI personal assistant built on OpenClaw. Google Map Microsoft has released its own version of OpenClaw. Microsoft Scout is an ongoing assistant that integrates into Microsoft 365 apps, such as Outlook, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams, enabling companies to assign virtual assistants to employees to organize calendars, report expenses, and draft emails. Microsoft has released a preview version of Scout in the form of a desktop app, but it is finally a plan to provide a complete Scout cloud service. - Microsoft may be subject to the following Bigtech Antitrust Law: Microsoft has missed a violation of the Antimonopoly Act in the United States for 25 years, but the situation may change soon. The Federal Trade Commission on Microsoft for new civil investigation requests Azure It is now clear that we are investigating potential actions related to the role of Microsoft in the cloud service and the AI industry. As Microsoft changed its license condition in 2019, the customer complains that the cost of running Windows software is significantly higher than Microsoft’s proprietary Azure cloud service. This problem is not only in the United States. The European Commission, the UK Competition Market Agency, and the Japan Trade Commission have been investigating Microsoft’s cloud services over the past year. - This luxuryゲーム laptop can ruin other screens. Asus’ Strix Scar 18 features a 4K 240Hz display and imp ed his colleague Antonio G. Di Benedetto. The Mini LED panel has more than 2,000 dimming zones, with a peak brightness of up to 1,600 nits in HDR mode, but if you disable HDR mode, you will be able to access special features called Ex。e Low Motion Blur (ELMB). This更新 dimming zones to automatically split the display into smaller horizontal pixel bands, and to be updated very fast for each line as with conventional CRTs. This greatly reduces the motion r and makes it a great benefit for fast-paced video games. - Microsoft makes it safer to run OpenClaw on Windows. Microsoft has released Microsoft ution Containers, a policy-driven layer to increase OS safety for OpenClaw, etc. on Windows this week. You can also run the OpenClaw companion app on your Windows PC. This prevents AI agents like OpenClaw from removing all files. Peter Steinberger, author of OpenClaw, says. - Call of Duty: Warzone ends support for PS4 and Xbox One in the second half of this year. Activision will 、 support for the PS4 and Xbox One console in Call of Duty: Warzone in the second half of this year. The player must upgrade to PS5 or Xbox Series S/X to continue playing Call of Duty: Warzone after the season 6 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 ends this year. This news is not so surprising, but there is no bad time for Warzone players who are still using the old console. In the past year, both Microsoft and Sony have increased the price of the game console, and PS5 and Xbox Series X have increased the price of the game console to $499. - Microsoft threatens to take legal action when publishing an exploit. Microsoft is confronted with security researchers who have published vulnerabilities. Some posts suggest that a person named Nightmare E。se posts a conceptual proof exploit code and is an unsatisfactory former employee. Microsoft’s responses neglected a of the cybersecurity community, suggesting that the company plans to claim Nightmare E se as a neglect to publish vulnerabilities. - Microsoft 365 Copilot has improved speed and has improved design. Microsoft 365 Copilot According to the company, more clean design makes reading twice faster. This redesign is deployed on desktop and mobile, while Copilot does not show a large number of options at a time, so you can view tools and controls based on prompts. This is part of a larger approach to improving Copilot’s usefulness, while Microsoft continues to remove AI assistants from some of Windows.
