Microsoft’s AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, has shared his opinion after recent pushback from users online that are becoming frustrated with Copilot and AI on Windows. In a post on X, Suleyman says he’s mind blown by the fact that people are unimpressed with the ability to talk fluently with an AI computer.
His post comes after Windows president Pavan Davuluri was recently met with major backlash from users online for posting about Windows evolving into an agentic OS. His post was so negatively received that he was forced to turn off replies, though Davuluri did later respond to reassure customers that the company was aware of the feedback.
A desktop environment is not a prerequisite for an operating system.
I mean it kind of is. If I have a gaming focused operating system it still needs to occasionally be able to do all the other computer things otherwise I have to have two computers or dual boot or something. If I had a console I would still need a computer, well the saying this can be all things and we can just switch from windows to this, so it also has to be able to do all of the other stuff too.
I think you’re quite confused about what an operating system actually is.
People need a system that is capable of all things, it needs to be able to run games but it also at the same time needs to be able to open the word document your manager has sent you.
If it cannot do both of those things it is not an operating system, it’s a games console. Which is a fun thing to own, but it’s not the same thing as a fully fledged computer. He fully capable operating system is necessary in order to replace a windows system. In order to replace Microsoft it has to do all of the jobs of windows, or else it will never succeed.
It’s ok to be ignorant. It’s not so great to defend rather than remedy your ignorance.
Kiddy, computer gaming existed WAY before any desktop environments. Imagine, even multiplayer online games existed before Windows 95…
Which it is, it is a fully fledged OS that runs steam in big picture mode when you start it. It also says on the page for this device that if you want you can install any OS onto it.
