Overview
- Microsoft Windows president Pavan Davuluri said the OS is "evolving into an agentic" platform in a post promoting Ignite.
- The post drew overwhelmingly negative responses on X, with many rejecting deeper AI integration and citing intrusive service tie-ins.
- Following the flood of replies, Davuluri limited who could respond to the post, according to Windows Latest.
- Coverage links the AI-first push to reported budget shifts toward AI and away from Xbox and Surface, which Microsoft has not formally detailed.
- Analysts note the Ignite sessions he flagged appear aimed at enterprise "frontier firms," with no new consumer features announced under the agentic label.
