> Microsoft's Windows chief Pavan Davuluri had earlier hinted at such plans already about how the next evolution of OS will make it capable enough to make it "semantically understand you" as Windows will get "more ambient, more pervasive, more multi-modal". Using features like Copilot Vision it will be able to "look at your screen" and do more.
These are not words that usually leads to user shouting "Yay, finally, what a pleasure this is to use now!". Why even use the word "pervasive" and the term "look at your screen", almost sounds like it's intentional to turn a specific segment of users away.
I feel like we're still discovering how security, privacy and LLMs connect together. Add in a OS-available MCP that has access to your computer and applications, and I feel like it's way too early to integrate it on that level, especially when they at the same time say "security is our top priority".

- pndy 1y agoOf course they won't admit they screw everything up and that's what exactly made their users run away to competition or towards FOSS alternatives. So there's this toxic marketing positivity clown dance of "plans" happen while they're ignoring once again the criticism and feedback. And frankly, I'm fed up with this - not only in this particular MS case because this ridiculous bs can be seen in the whole corporate world.

- thewebguyd 1y ago> at the same time say "security is our top priority". I don't think that's true anymore, and this proves it. They did the security song and dance for a while because they were under pressure. Now AI is the number one priority over everything else, security be damned.
- bigfatkitten 1y agoThe security focus mostly ended when Nadella got the top job, well before the AI craze.
- embedding-shape 1y agoI remember Bill Gates (sometime around 2000-2005 maybe?) saying "Security is now the top priority for Microsoft", and in 2024 Satya Nadella said it again (https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/microsoft-ceo-security-priority/714450/ https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/microsoft-ceo-securit...) and just one month ago, a blog post titled "How Microsoft is creating a security-first culture that lasts" (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2025/10/13/building-a-lasting-security-culture-at-microsoft/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2025/10/13/bui...) I don't think it ever ended, nor that it ever started. But they've been saying this for a while not, for at least two CEOs.
- bigfatkitten 1y agoSecurity came onto Nadella’s radar in 2024 because Microsoft was compromised quite thoroughly (and avoidably) by the Russian intelligence services that year. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2024/01/25/midnight-blizzard-guidance-for-responders-on-nation-state-attack/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2024/01/25/mid... Midnight Blizzard was the turning point after a decade of neglect, that saw a lot of amazing work done by some very talented people during the Trustworthy Computing era (following the Gates memo) being unwound.
