    Windows is being re-written from the ground up to be ‘agentic’. This means that Copilot is not going to be a feature of Windows, Windows is going to be a feature of Copilot.

    Oh, and Copilot is going to be writing the code too. Microslop brags that 30% of their code is AI.

      Windows is being re-written from the ground up

      I know they say that but you know there’s still Windows 95 code still in there so I don’t believe them at all. It’s just smoke and mirrors for the shareholders.

      Hey hey, let’s be honest here, bragged, it’s been 9 months or so by now. Who knows how much of windows is vibecoded at this point, it might be as high as 50%.

        By the way microslop is doing emergency patch after emergency patch, vibe coding windows isn’t the brag they thought it was.

        Maybe the new stuff. The Windows NT core has 22 years’ worth of code.

          If it’s a matter of quantity over quality, LLMs are fantastic at that. I can totally see them bloating the codebase by letting loose a few LLMs and have them do whatever.

          And following decent coding practices there shouldn’t be a ton of code there (not saying a small amount, just little enough that AI would be able to compete in volume in this amount of time), just because less is so often more.
