Microsoft Windows Team Acknowledges Backlash Over Agentic OS Vision

Pavan Davuluri, the head of Microsoft’s Windows team, has responded to criticism over the company’s vision for an “agentic” operating system that takes action on behalf of users. Despite acknowledging the volume of complaints about performance, UX fragmentation, and developer-hostile defaults, Davuluri’s response was described as underwhelming and lacked specifics on what changes will be made or when they will arrive. Users have expressed frustration with the introduction of features like Copilot, which some feel is arriving before longstanding design issues are resolved. The company has not provided a detailed public roadmap for its agentic OS vision, leading many to call for more transparency and engagement from Microsoft.
