What will replace the Start button?

Satya Nadella said a function may appear instead of the “Start” button in Windows copilot, based on artificial intelligence. During the speech, Nadella expressed confidence that Copilot can revolutionize user interaction with the operating system.

Comparing Copilot to the conventional Start button, Nadella explained:

Copilot is like the Start button; It becomes the regulator of all your interaction with the system.

He spoke in detail about how Copilot can optimize user experience by understanding users’ intentions and helping them solve tasks that will ultimately change their habits.

Microsoft trusts artificial intelligence

During the meeting between Nadella and Amon, the issue of Microsoft and Qualcomm’s cooperation in optimizing Windows for the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor also came up. The partnership aims to harness the power of advanced Neural Processing Units (NPUs) and facilitate the development of software that takes advantage of these advances.

Although specific details about the release of the next version of Windows (probably Windows 12) have not yet been announced, it is known that Microsoft is aiming for a highly modular design with deep integration of artificial intelligence technologies. Nadella expects that with Copilot, users will no longer need to ask the AI ​​to open a specific app, but instead express their intent, such as “edit a photo” or “get help with financial planning.”
