Leak: Microsoft created Edge-based Copilot OS wih AI-powered UI, no Start menu

Microsoft•USA•

What happened

A leaked video from 2024 shows Microsoft's Copilot OS, a new operating system that uses AI to power its user interface. Unlike Windows 11, Copilot OS does not have a Start menu and is based on the Edge browser. This suggests that Microsoft is experimenting with a new approach to operating systems that leverages AI and browser technology.

Why it matters

This development could indicate a shift in the way operating systems are designed, with AI playing a more prominent role in shaping user experiences. It also raises questions about the future of traditional operating systems and the potential for browser-based alternatives.

Is this a big deal?
