Windows 12 and 13: goodbye mouse and keyboard! Will user interaction be voice-only?

Windows 12 and 13: goodbye mouse and keyboard! Will user interaction be voice-only?

What will Windows 12 and even Windows 13 look like? David Weston, Microsoft vice president of enterprise and operating systems security, believes that in the future, Windows systems will most likely abandon the mouse and keyboard and use AI-powered dialogue as the primary method of operation.

Microsoft recently released a video titled “Microsoft Windows 2030 Vision.” In the video , David Weston describes what Windows will look like in five years.

The world of clicking a mouse and typing on a keyboard is as foreign to Generation Z as DOS.” He believes that the future Windows system (perhaps even Windows 12 itself) will completely change people’s perceptions of input and interaction methods.

I firmly believe that within five years, we will be able to hire an ‘expert’ who will effectively be an AI agent. We will interact with him just as we interact with humans today. We will talk to him on Teams, he will participate in online meetings, we will send him emails, and we will assign him tasks.”

David Weston said that in day-to-day work, this will allow people to do less “drudgery” and focus on human strengths, such as ideation, creativity, vision, the ability to connect with people, and understanding what products are needed. These AI agents will be capability amplifiers, allowing us to do things we couldn’t have even imagined a few years ago.

He believes that in the future, Windows users will use their eyes less and communicate directly with the computer. In the future, Windows and other Microsoft operating systems will interact multimodally.

Computers can see what we see and hear, and we can talk to them and ask them to complete more complex tasks. “I think this is a more natural way of communicating.”
