- Microsoft’s vice president for OS Security has provided his Windows vision in 2030
- It will be multimodal and will imply ‘more talk to our computers’
- AI will feed the ability to “do much more sophisticated things”
Have you ever wondered how Windows will be in exchange for decade, when 2030 arrives?
Windows Central discovered a video clip loaded on the Microsoft YouTube channel in which its corporate vice president for the safety of the operating system, David Weston, provides his vision for Windows in 2030 (you can see it below).
In the brief interview, Weston offers answers to some established questions that are mainly on the issue of security (as expected, given their experience), AI, works and the business world. However, it addresses the video title at one time, and gives us its thoughts about how Windows would look at the end of the decade.
Weston observes: “I think we will do less with our eyes and talk to our computers. And I really think that a future version of Windows and other Microsoft operating systems will interact in a multimodal way.”
“The computer can see what we see, listen to what we hear, and we can talk to it and ask you to do much more sophisticated things. I think it will be a much more natural form of communication.”
Weston adds: “The world of mouse and writing will feel as alien as it does to Gen-Z to use more.”
Much of the rest of the video discusses AI and works, as mentioned, and how we can expect AI to take over the work of grunts to free ourselves to humans to do more interesting and creative tasks (or that is the theory anyway).
And, in fact, how future security experts will be Bots with which he will interact as a real person, talk to them in video chats and meetings, or send them an email to give them tasks.

ANALYSIS: Far dear?
For me, this does not feel like a vision of Windows in five years (well, it is closer to four if we want to cut, and I do it), but much further than that. Although Weston suggests that this is a broader vision of a ‘future version of Windows’, and I get the essence: the future is ‘multimodal’, moving away from the mouse and the simple keyboard such as the main entries for the PC, and, of course, everything is built around the (naturally).
However, Windows’s future will be like that? I am certainly not betting on whether it focuses largely on AI, since that seems to be the case. In general, AI feels like an almost irresistible force in terms of where computers are directed, and Microsoft is clearly trying to get more in Windows where you can, a route with which the software giant will undoubtedly move on.
Today, I have been writing on hidden clues at the Windows 11 background that suggests that another AI agent could reach the taskbar in the desktop operating system. That possible addition would live together with the agent already introduced in the configuration application, which is an intelligent addition.
With the powerful NPUs that will be included soon in the desktop chips, as well as co -pilot+ laptops, it is likely that AI will generalize much more in the world of the PC quite quickly. I would even go so far as to guess that the next version of Windows will not be Windows 12, but Windows AI (or Windows co -driver maybe, if that is still the brand for AI), it is likely that the approach in this sand is so strong.
However, there are promises, high ideas and marketing around AI, and then the reality of what Microsoft can achieve. Do you remember when the co -pilot was first introduced in Windows 11? They told us that it would be able to change a configuration strip in the operating system based on a lazy user indicator (such as ‘becoming more productive’). That has not yet happened, and seems to be firmly in the rear burner.
That is, although I do not doubt that Microsoft has these great ambitions, if a very different way of working with a Windows PC will occur in 2030 it seems doubtful to me.
In fact, I can imagine what to speak, give voice commands (which are coming very well in Windows 11), it could become a much more important, but still complementary part, part of the experience and the Windows interface. And the AI (presumably) to do more sophisticated things, yes, just enough, perhaps even manipulating the one -time Windows configuration at the user’s instances will be done in a way that works well.
Hey, maybe Windows AI, or Windows 2030, or as he ends up calling, will finally eliminate the inherited control panel, as Weston’s video observes fun. JA – makes me feel dizzy just to imagine it. This is a battle that Microsoft has been fighting for too long, after all,
But it is being made that the use of mouse and keyboard sits as the equivalent that we are forced to return to the days of two, all text and touch -ups with the config.sys and autoexec.bat files so that a PC game works? That feels more than a section, and something much, much further in the Windows computer timeline, but could be wrong.
