Problem is...

A) It's Microsoft we're talking about. They will 100% make everything paid and behind a subscription, or bait people in by saying it's free and change their minds 1-2 years later

B) Nobody has the hardware to run good AI models locally (yet), so these features will all be locked behind being connected to your MS account at all times, with a probably terrible privacy policy behind it

C) Does this really have to be baked into the OS? This could've just been an application or an extension. Windows Copilot already exists and 99% of people are clearly not interested.

D) Guaranteed they will just keep pushing AI rather than do any decent improvements to the system. Watch their incredible new OS be Windows 10 with a new coat of paint and ads just like 11. Best they'll do is hide the settings behind another menu, again.
