Thanks for the description you give of the AI integration in Windows. I agree with the benefits you mention of these inclusions.

At the same time, I don't really appreciate the marketing style hype of the article - though perhaps that is just me, as I don't like marketing or materialism generally.

However, although this all sounds great, it does not take into account the notorious unreliability of Windows. Surely, this new integrations is likely to make it even more susceptible to problems.

I've always been a 'relatively' early adopter. That is, I like to keep abreast of and try out advances as soon as I can. However, before purchasing, I tend to wait for a reasonable time, perhaps 6 - 12 months, depending on what the advance may be, in order to let others find the glitches. (Yes, perhaps that's mean but I have little disposable income.)

Apple is innovative. It has continually had many of its features copied by Microsoft and others. Indeed, Microsoft, although owing much to MS-DOS and the clone hardware market, also received a considerable leg-up by producing MS Word initially for the Mac.

For me, I'd rather wait to see what Apple does with AI integration. I consider that there is sense to Apple's considered approach to development and introduction of new features. The reality is that, with few exceptions, its innovations and advances usually work well from day 1 of their release. That cannot be said of Microsoft by any stretch of the imagination.

So, thanks for an interesting and informative article. Although preferring the Mac and other Apple hardware and software, I also have a Windows machine simply so that I can stay in touch with the opposition. However, in relation to this issue, I'll wait for Apple, thanks.

Take care. Stay safe. ☮️
