Microsoft plans to evolve Windows with integration of voice, touch, and pen controls, enhancing user experience into a multimodal future. Davuluri emphasized that these inputs will become as common as mouse and keyboard. Despite past negative reactions to innovations like Windows 8’s touch interface, the company is now focusing on ambient computing and justifying its AI investments. There is skepticism about whether users truly desire touch and voice controls, suggesting a reflection on user preferences versus corporate vision for a transformed Windows experience.
"I think we will see computing become more ambient, more pervasive, continue to span form factors, and certainly become more multimodal in the arc of time."
"Voice, vision, pen, and touch are set to become more pervasive, just like we use mouse and keyboard."
