Microsoft has outlined its vision for the next major version of Windows, Windows 12, emphasizing voice input as the primary method of interaction. The company aims to integrate an all-seeing, voice-controlled chatbot designed to enhance productivity. This shift toward voice-driven interaction reflects Microsoft's focus on new interaction technologies, including voice, vision, and pen inputs. Meanwhile, Microsoft continues to update Windows 11 with recent releases such as redesigned context menus in Notepad and improvements to Windows Hello, with preview builds like 24H2 and Canary builds becoming available to users. In parallel with its software developments, Microsoft is preparing a return-to-office policy requiring employees to work onsite at least three days a week, signaling a shift in workplace strategy. This move aligns with broader trends, such as Ontario's decision to mandate public servants return to office full-time by January, reflecting changes in workforce dynamics.
