Windows 12 could see a substantial system redesign in order to include a more AI-centric user experience. The start button could thus be replaced with Copilot AI, which is already available as a preview version in the latest Windows 11 update.
The Copilot is like the Start button,” Nadella explains. “It becomes the orchestrator of all your app experiences. So for example, I just go there and express my intent and it either navigates me to an application or it brings the application to the Copilot, so it helps me learn, query and create — and completely changes, I think, the user habits.”
So it’s like search on iOS. Not always what I want but if it makes windows search useful then maybe it won’t be so bad.
Seriously, I almost never navigate the menu anymore. I hit the windows key on my keyboard and start type the app name, or setting I want to change, then hit enter when the autocomplete is right. Gmail came along with labels replacing folders, then iTunes and iPhoto organizing your media by its metadata. I would hate going back to having to organize folders and menus again.
yeah they didn’t say they were removing the start menu, they just said the new feature will be as central to the user experience. and predictably every reply is “lol STUPID MICRO$HIT”
