We continue to invest across @Windows to make the experience faster, more dependable and more useful every day, while expanding what’s possible across our ecosystem. From a more responsive Windows and a new Search experience, to advances in gaming and more choice across devices and silicon, it’s exciting to see the team's investments come together 🚀! Here's a look at what’s new this holiday: blogs.windows.com/windowsexp…

Today, we announced new @Windows platform capabilities and @surface devices built to empower people and organizations for the era of hybrid intelligence. Here are some of the highlights: - It all starts with trust. Microsoft Execution Containers (MXC) is now generally available on Windows 11, keeping agents contained within boundaries the operating system enforces. - HydraFusion brings hybrid intelligence to life, allowing models to run locally while seamlessly accessing the cloud when more scale or capability is needed. We're working with @github to extend HydraFusion to Windows. - This fall, Search on the taskbar adds thousands of quick actions, making it easier to adjust settings and get things done as fast as you can type. - @MSFTCopilot is getting more powerful on Windows. With hybrid intelligence, it can tap into your PC's local capabilities and turn your requests into action, while keeping you in control. - Local agents are coming to Windows too. Muse is on its way as a native Windows app with MXC integration, and Hermes, OpenClaw, and Perplexity are already building local experiences on Windows. - Surface Laptop Ultra, built with NVIDIA RTX Spark, is the most powerful Surface we've ever built. It's available for pre-order today, along with the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box and new RTX Spark PCs from our partners. Call of Duty is coming to RTX Spark in 2027.

Awesome day, @satyanadella! Windows sparked a platform shift that created a new industry for NVIDIA. Then we invented programmable shading GPUs for DirectX, which led to CUDA. Then we partnered to bring GPU supercomputers to Azure, which helped OpenAI train GPT. That collaboration inspired us to reinvent Windows for the age of personal agents. 4 years. Thousands of engineering years between us. So proud of what we built together.
Great to partner with NVIDIA as we kick off this next chapter for Windows. Thank you @JensenHuang and @sriramk for joining us today!

Excited to see @perplexity_ai bring Portable Computer to @Windows! As AI workloads become more capable, Windows provides a powerful platform to run them locally, helping people at work while maintaining control over their data and their costs. You can get started today by downloading the Perplexity app from the Microsoft Store: apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p…
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.

Great growth stories start with great products. See how Superhuman (suite including Grammarly) leveraged #MicrosoftStore on #Windows to achieve an incredible 778% ROAS in this case study. about.ads.microsoft.com/en/r…

github.com/microsoft/win-dev… Getting agents to understand WinUI is important, we recognize that they are trained so much better for other libraries out of the box. With this new set of skills we are optimizing for creating the best UX as efficiently as possible with a coding agent!

Something new is coming for developers. And no, it’s not a new OS version 😅. See you at Build next week!

All new...go get the GitHub Copilot App. It's a delight. github.blog/changelog/2026-0…
If you've been wondering what I've been up to, the team and I have been cooking up something new. A new agent-native development environment deeply integrated with the GitHub graph. Not just for writing code, but all of the meta-work as well.
