Microsoft Frames Windows As Agentic OS
Microsoft Windows head Pavan Davuluri recently promoted the idea of Windows as an "agentic OS," provoking strong user backlash demanding reliability, usability, and stability. The author argues Davuluri's emphasis and reference to feedback from "other channels" suggest agentic features may be prioritized over core OS principles, warning that agentic functionality belongs above the application layer to avoid privileged access and security compromises.
