At a Windows and Surface event this week, Microsoft laid out plans to transform Windows into an 'agentic' operating system by integrating AI agents more deeply into the platform, rather than moving to a new Windows 12. The announcement signals Microsoft's long-term strategy for keeping Windows 11 as its primary OS foundation. The push reflects a broader industry trend of embedding AI agents directly into operating systems and productivity software, as Microsoft seeks to differentiate Windows amid competition from other AI-infused platforms.
