Microsoft’s Next Version of Windows to Prioritize Security and AI, Reports Say

The business is also said to be developing a version of CorePC to compete with Apple Silicon, which the iPhone manufacturer started selling in new Macs more than two years ago. When linked to specific hardware, Microsoft’s “silicon-optimized” model would improve the operating system’s performance and capabilities (like, theoretically, Surface devices running a particular class of chips).

Lastly, Microsoft is (unsurprisingly) incorporating artificial intelligence into the new initiative. It intends to use artificial intelligence to assess on-screen material and deliver contextual hints. That seems to be a system-wide expansion of the AI capabilities in the next Office editions.
