Watch the full, wide-ranging interview with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella here: on.wsj.com/3wyDk3n

The first thing I did with AI Copilot was figure out how to disable AI Copilot.

Windows + screenshots from everything you touch on windows computer = is every hacker’s dream come true.

"It's sees you, it hears you, it's always there" I don't want that.

Satya said: "the browser was born on windows", but that is a lie. The WorldWideWeb was developed on a Next computer, and Mosiac was developed on unix. What kind of revisionist history is he trying to out there?

Satya has been extra confident and cheerful ever since the OpenAI collaboration.

thanks sounds terrifying

Did they just say they take screenshots of everything we will do!?? 😬

Dear Satya. The vast majority of customers would prefer not to have continuous automated screen shots of the adult websites and videos they are viewing on their PC's. The fact that the feature is there is a non starter because nobody trusts Microsoft with privacy. -Sincerely, 95% of the honest adult population

4:30 "This is my computer". You would think so, but the fact that Microsoft tries its best to not let you use a Windows 11 PC unless you sign in to a Microsoft account says otherwise.

The web browser was born on a NeXT computer, and didn't some to Windows until about 3 years later, after they had been developed for other UNIX computers, MS DOS, and the Mac OS.

That all sounds absolutely terrifying and intrusive.

We don't want to watch Microsoft ads.

Speaking on trust, Windows is already intrusive enough, you think they really aren't going to use their 'local' npu data and package it and sell it in some way?

Is this an ad?

"Screenshots and data only local", wink wink. It's not being synced in Redmond's servers, trust me bro, its not ready to be served to Uncle Sam upon request.

7:10 The browser was born on Windows? I guess if we arbitrarily set a starting date of 1995 and ignore anything before that time, then yes.

The recall thing is the first thing I'll disable whenever it rolls out. I know it'll be a security risk. Releasing data it was not supposed to when malicious people gets somehow access to it.

This reminds me of my exit interview. My boss sat me down and tried to persuade me to stay, but all he did was convince me to leave.

I don't want this. I don't need this.

Guys, don't be fooled by the Microsoft newspeak. "AI Copilot+ PC", "on the Edge". It's the exact same Windows with a chat bot add-on.

It's time to switch to Linux for real this time! 🐧

The fact that the AI is taking screenshots of your desktop is a big no from me. Time to downgrade to windows 10 or learn Linux.

I can only imagine the magnitude of the shitstorm after every hacker attack that will allow them to gain access to such data.

The first thing I did with AI Copilot was figure out how to disable AI Copilot. Just like what I do with every other Microsoft 'improvement' including Cortana.

As a Forensics’s examiner I can’t wait to find out what sort of loopholes this will introduce. If they make it, someone can break it.

Privacy is dead

Linux is looking way nicer now

I can see organisations use Copilot with Recall to be able to search/scan/see everything their IP (I mean employees) do

Lifetime Windows users here and saying beating the Mac is a really bold statement. I'm using the M3 Max and it's pretty darn good. Waiting to use one

It is generated locally indeed, then "sent" via the auto opt-in "Help us improve our CoPilot...."

Joanna suggesting the default wallpaper for Windows 12. Lowkey Iconic moment! 🤣✨

Joanna should host SNL

The coolest thing about Microsoft's new AI features, in my opinion, is the opportunity to dive deep into the Settings app to figure out how to immediately turn them off.

Recall sounds incredibly invasive.

Thanks for the tip on disabling Recall. Probably good to turn off the internet too.

Now I'll be able to see and index and search absolutely everything that my employees do every day.

the last thing we need is microsoft recording everything we do

I didn’t hear him say that the screenshots WONT go to Microsoft.

Windows Recall = Scary No Loud Fans on Windows Laptop = Finally

So Microsoft is going to take random screenshots of your screen so that you can search moments... don't worry, though, it is running entirely on the edge... No matter the justification, that just sounds creepy.

This feels like assault the way they're forcing this totally unwanted thing into every single orifice of their software. 😫😫😫

Can someone give me an example of how to use recall productively? Is it solving for “I can’t remember the name of a file I just saved and am too lazy to look through the Recent list”?

Can't wait to see your computer testify against you in court😂😂😂

that paint app thing is crazy!

Everything is fine, but why do we have Windows Update everytime i have a serious PPT Presentation to give.?

Are the sleep states in where's fixed or is it still gonna drain it's battery randomly when I throw it in my bag

a device capturing screenshots constantly is very VERY scary and I bet even it will be one of those features which is turned on by default. It's also kind of funny seeing microsoft jumping on the next hype wagon (after VR, Win8, APK Apps, etc) instead of first focusing on debloating and simplifying windows. The best example for that might be the settings app/control center situation. But hey! AI is magic. Big buzzword. Computer goes whoosh!

I am eagerly anticipating getting one. Microsoft has done an excellent job. This comment has been revised by Co-Pilot.

Looking forward to start edging!

4:30 - yes, because the window searches universally loved.

Abundance of compute? No, Ilya said, hey, lets use a GPU for the maths, and boom, GPU's had a while new market. The scale of it has only grown over the past few years as "training-specific" chips were developed for 10k+ clusters. ZERO proof that it's even the right direction to go (lots of evidence that it isn't, unless you're high on the hype).

So Windows requires Recall to learn your habits/interests and get to know you but apparently that's fine because the user can trust that it's running the compute locally on their device... and then he envisions a world in which this AI companion who knows you will be everywhere and have access to these memories on every device? That doesn't sound especially local to me. And the proposed benefit of this is that it's aware I looked at brown leather bags the other day to do.. what exactly? Advertise brown leather bags to me? Unless I missed it at no point did he actually describe the supposed benefit of having a device which "knows" its user so perhaps someone else can help me out here?

People have total trust in these massive corporations that are now gonna skim all your data, even more. Yes there’s no way this can go wrong.

If you turn off Recall is it really off?

recall gets uploaded to web, you're in trouble

Windows, Mac and Linux: three wonderful operating systems for completely different purposes. None of them can replace each other in the domains where they are the best. 👍

Oh God - I do NOT want Windows taking screenshots of what I'm doing on my pc..... 😅😅😅😅

How long do we have to wait to see Philomena Cunk redo this interview?

The question is why? Why is every big tech company coming up with features that nobody asked for? I am so sick of these people!

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as PC, is in fact, Copilot/PC, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Copilot plus PC. PC is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Copilot system made useful by the Copilot corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the Copilot system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Copilot which is widely used today is often called PC, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Copilot system, developed by the Copilot Project. There really is a PC, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. PC is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. PC is normally used in combination with the Copilot operating system: the whole system is basically Copilot with PC added, or Copilot/PC. All the so-called PC distributions are really distributions of Copilot/PC!

Surely we see this come to Desktops and custom built computers

Will it not slowdown if I set website exemptions first the screenshots?

how do ensure and promise that its all done locally and not selling data??? 4:35

Just a suggestion, in the age of AI, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF “Excel has stopped responding…”

Interestingly, the GPT-4o application is being released first on Mac.

So will older laptops now running on Windows 11 also benefit from this Copilot+ PC update?

With ongoing advancement in LLM the size will be larger, how to update LLM in local device to newer(better, with later knowledge cutoffs) if it is too large? Do we just get stuck with one LLM w/o further training for PC's life span?

Can you guys fix the cumulative updates PLEASE

The fist web browser (Mosaic) was a X windows system that ran on UNIX machines before it ran on Windows or Macintosh by almost a year. I remember running mosaic for the first time on a SUN workstation, when it was not available on a PC running Windows or before any Apple OS system. So when Stya Nadella said Microsofr Windows was the first OS to run a web browser, it is just another example of Microsoft embellishment. As a person that normally runs MacOS, I'm looking forward to a new ARM based processing system on a Windows box that is much cheaper than MacOS on Apple hardware. Windows 11 is not nearly as good as MacOS Sanoma, but is a compromise I might make because Apple hardware is outrageously expensive. I like the SWIFT programming environment on MacOS where I can write a program that runs on iOS, watch ios, ipadOS, and MacOS with very little modification. We'll see if Windows 12 (I.e. Windows ARM) has the ability to run MacOS in emulation.

He said it runs and sees locally but it does't means they don't transfer it.

Kudos to Joanna Stern. One of the most enjoyable interviews I have seen. She knows her tech stuff, I love the visualization of the explanations, and I find her humor smart and with good taste. She asks hard questions out of sincerity and not being smug or whatever.

ARM is great for daily tasks. Emails, video consumption, web browsing etc. No fan kicking in means geavy duty productivity tasks will need better hardware than that. Having said that I am sure they'll just move it to the cloud in an attempt to eliminate people owning dedicated hardware and charge a subscription for one instead. That's the future they want for you and the reality is - large part of users will take it.

Copilot is infant Skynet

Very interesting. Mr. Nadella has a good sense of humor. He's not the stiff suite and tie type. I'll check out the full interview.

Maybe MS should start by having a simple search bar that actually works first.

Linux, my old friend...

Bloatware bloatware bloatware, memory hogs, process hogs

The only way MAC outweighs Windows is, whatever feature mac offers they work seamlessly always and for years and years. Just that factor of reliability. if windows can do that, we're sold

How exactly the copilot+ pcs would outperform Apple Macbooks?Only because of the internal NPU/the edge?

Window's shell desktop is a disgrace to humanity. Their completely locked non-customizable taskbar is so bad it hurts my stomach.

When the service is free, you're the product.

imgine showing ads from my laptop activities like sites i visit, game i play, song i listen to and so on even in incognito tab

If I'm not wrong, there is not similar to the one shown in the video activity log on Windows 10, which doesn't log as often as they are talking about here.

Can it add translations to a movie that doesn't have any?

Browser is a great name for a dog honestly

From a marketing perspective, CoPilot +PC doesn’t quite roll off the tongue very well. You’d think they could come up with something a bit more succinct.

know the only question will be the windows run all programs without any problems with the new arm processor ?

I don't think he can say they have "beat Apple" because we don't event know what Apple has to show.

Who is smarter? Satya or Sundar...

This is the best Linux promo I've seen in years

Great interview. Satya is a fantastic CEO.

linux time

I mean... I didn't really hear anything to get excited about here....

Recall sounds a lot like Apples Time Machine feature

what security is there to ensure Recall stays on my PC, on my edge, and not go out into the Cloud to be accessible by others?

Windows has been known to be super safe and secure. No issues with screen shots of everything you do being stored on your computer. 😊

This sounds like a privacy invigilation with extra steps

Great interview, the only thing I dislike about Microsoft's surface laptops is that they are plastic, unlike MacBook and MacBook Pro's which are Aluminum and much more durable. I had a Lenovo Ideapad that the screen hinges broke twice and I was very careful with it, the first time the hinge mount broke Lenovo replaced the case under warranty.

I suppose there's a need for all that search-ability? My question is, is it an option that you can get on your pc if you want it, or will you not have a choice?
