As a researcher following Microsoft, I’m anticipating a major Windows announcement this Thursday. From what they’ve shared, it seems the focus will be on improving how people actually *use* and experience Windows on their computers – a change in how we interact with the operating system is likely.
Microsoft tweeted from the @Windows account, hinting at a major announcement coming this Thursday. The tweet playfully suggested people should rest their hands, implying they’ll be using them for something new. So far, that’s the only information available.
Microsoft has been publicly discussing making voice control a central feature of Windows. According to Pavan Davuluri, the head of Windows, the company is working towards a future where you can talk to your computer while typing, writing with a stylus, or even while communicating with someone else. The goal is for your computer to understand *what you mean* when you speak, allowing for more natural interaction.
Get ready to take a break! You deserve some time off to rest your hands – something exciting is launching on Thursday, October 14, 2025!
Recently, David Weston, a leader at Microsoft responsible for Enterprise & Security, shared a similar vision: he believes computers will soon be able to understand our sights, sounds, and voice commands, allowing us to interact with them in much more complex ways. It appears Microsoft is actively working to make voice control a key way to use Windows, alongside traditional methods like keyboards, mice, and touchscreens.
It’s still unclear what Microsoft will reveal on Thursday, but a full reveal of Windows 12 isn’t expected. Instead, we might get a first look at Microsoft’s plans for the future of computing – integrating AI that can proactively help users and respond to natural language – directly into Windows 11.
It’s still uncertain whether people will actually prefer controlling their computers with their voice. Microsoft has attempted to introduce alternative input methods for Windows before, like touchscreens with Windows 8, and that didn’t really take off.
