Anyone an idea or a link what kind of AI they want to run on people's machines? Will it add something for the user or just annoy you and add more targeted advertising?
The second one.
Clippy v.2.
They're going to make us miss that clueless little bastard.
Hehe, pretty sure it's that. With Microsoft's history of letting loose racist and unhinged chatbots... I'm eager to get to know Clippy v2.
Even as far back as XP/Vista Microsoft has wanted to run the file system as more of an adaptive database than a classical hierarchical file system.
The leaked beta for Vista had this included and it ran like absolute shit, mostly because harddrives are slow and ram was at a premium, especially in Vista as it was such a bloated piece or shit.
NTFS has since evolved to include more and more of these "smart" file system components.
Now they want to go full on with this "smart" approach to the filesystem.
It'll still be slow and shit, just like it was 2 decades ago.
Even further back, the first attempt was around 1990 and Windows NT.
The beta for Vista with WinFS, was not exactly "leaked", it was given to developers at a MS conference.
NTFS doesn't have any of that, they've shifted the functionality to the Search Indexer... and it's what most people use when they hit the Win key and start typing the name of some file.
