    ambient: we will do things without asking

    pervasive: we want to be everywhere in your life

    multi-modal: and by everywhere we mean FUCKING EVERYWHERE

      So, there’s non-zero chance that they’ll resurrect Windows Phone and Cortana?

      The thought of relying on Microsoft services for something sends shivers down my spine.

      Then I remember there are adults in this world using Outlook to keep their agendas, paying for MSN news, people BOUGHT MEDIA AND SOFTWARE from the built in stores Microsoft created and abandoned. I can’t imagine it.

        The thought of relying on Microsoft services for something sends shivers down my spine.

        government (including most chillingly, international governments) and hospitals pretty much all use microsoft tools - outlook, sharepoint, etc - to run huge parts of their organisations

        that’s the truly scary part

    That’s an insane number of buzzwords in a very short statement.

    Also, I don’t want any of what they’re describing. I want my OS to be what allows the programs I use to run, nothing more, nothing less. I don’t want it to try and guess what I’m doing, or look at my screen.

    Hey Microsoft, remember when you made the start menu bigger in win 8 and everyone hated it? Good luck changing everything about the UI. I’m sure it’ll be super popular this time.

    I hope one day my kids will come to me and ask me: “Windows? What is that?”

    Compute will become pervasive, as in Windows experiences are going to use a combination of capabilities that are local and that are in the cloud.

    …what does Davuluri think “pervasive” means?

    I’ve always wanted my OS to be ambient. Whenever I boot SuSE, I’m thinking, “what this needs is to be more ambient”. I’m glad that someone is finally doing something about it.

      Ambient as in it’s always in the background. Always lurking around the foreground. Every click, every keystroke lovingly crafts your experience from the first second. Sounds great right?
