In recent years, Microsoft has been dedicated to transforming the Windows operating system into a platform capable of autonomous decision-making. Pavan Davuluri, the President of Windows, announced that Microsoft is harnessing the power of AI technology to steer Windows toward becoming an 'autonomous operating system'. In this envisioned system, AI agents will possess the ability to comprehend context, make decisions on behalf of users, and seamlessly execute complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention.

Davuluri's statements were strategically timed to generate excitement for the upcoming Ignite conference, scheduled to take place from November 18 to 21. However, this initiative has sparked a wave of discontent among a substantial number of Windows users. Many have voiced their disapproval, accusing Microsoft of disregarding their pleas to halt the integration of additional AI features. The comment sections across various platforms have been inundated with negative feedback.

Previously, Microsoft disclosed that the realization of the autonomous operating system would hinge on Copilot, a tool designed to streamline workflows. In forthcoming updates, Copilot is set to introduce three innovative functions: Copilot Voice, Copilot Vision, and Copilot Actions. These enhancements will empower users to complete entire workflows using only their voice, marking a significant leap forward in user-system interaction.
