A look into how the Windows team is integrating AI into their OS: eg they're adding agent identities, akin to that of a user.
It's the first opinionated approach I see for AI agents at the OS level - and surely other OSes will do sg similar.

More precise privacy controls are here 🛡️
Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel can now manage camera, microphone and location access for desktop apps individually.

Finally! Granular privacy controls for legacy win32 and desktop apps individually is a massive win for user autonomy. No more relying on third-party toggles or all-or-nothing system permissions.

It turns my decades of experience and workflows into tangible, impactful outcomes. Streamlines the the long-standing "PM, Dev, Design" trio down to me and a few agents.
I'm learning more, reaching outcomes faster, and even my mistakes drive the product cycle forward.
An agent that can’t see your shell can’t really help. 👀
Intelligent Terminal gives your favorite agents the context they need to debug errors, understand commands, and stay in your workflow.
Less context switching. More building.

Intelligent Terminal just got an upgrade.
With the latest release, developers can securely connect local or cloud-based models using API keys, use Autofix to troubleshoot multi-step failures, and switch models without interrupting their workflow.

Portable Computer is now available on Windows PCs with @NVIDIA RTX GPUs.
Run the harness, agents, and models locally on your PC.
Work with local files and connected apps without sending tasks to the cloud. Use frontier cloud models when needed.

Microsoft announced Project Zenith, a Windows configuration built for developers
Project Zenith is a Windows 11 setup with consumer apps removed, languages, runtimes and dev tools preinstalled, and file extensions and hidden files shown by default. Microsoft says it runs 30B plus parameter models locally with no metering or cloud token costs. It requires at least 64GB of high bandwidth RAM and launches first on AMD's Ryzen AI Halo mini desktop. The memory requirement rules out a lot of independent developers.

Today during the @AMD's #IFA2026 keynote, @pavandavuluri introduced Project Zenith - A ready-to-code Windows experience on developer-class devices.
