Time to rest those fingers…something big is coming Thursday 👀— Windows (@Windows) October 14, 2025
Windows 11 already offers voice typing and accessibility options since its launch, but Microsoft has recently set its sights even higher. The company aims to transform the interaction between users and their PCs, with voice management through AI. They openly state that the keyboard and mouse navigation era is coming to an end.
Pavan Davuluri, head of Microsoft’s Windows and Devices division, has made it clear: “Windows will become more ambient, more ubiquitous, and more multimodal.” According to him, PCs will have a “contextual understanding of what the user is doing.” The AI will leverage Windows 11’s Copilot features to create a system that acts as a sort of personal assistant, signaling a historic shift in computing.
An announcement on Thursday to forget the end of Windows 10?
So, is Microsoft preparing a major announcement to distract us from the end of Windows 10, which exposes 400 million PCs to cyber threats? We’ll find out more on Thursday about what the Redmond company has in store for Windows 11.
One thing is certain: Microsoft’s future is oriented towards AI, and Copilot is evident of this ambition, even if the assistant has been integrated with some force. The company understands that, faced with competition, it’s better to take the lead as this marks a historic turning point.
The tech giants that miss the mark risk losing greatly. Microsoft is aware of this and is striving for an in-depth integration of AI into Windows, an operating system with worldwide success. Voice control appears to be a logical evolution.
