The version numbers and features changed, but the basic structure of the computer didn\u2019t. With Windows 8, Microsoft tried to completely change things\u2026 and we know how that went over. So Windows, by and large, went back to being Windows. And people were mostly grateful for that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Now, though, the whole platform is once again up in the air. To hear Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella tell it, you may not even use your own computer for long! The future, Microsoft believes, is agents. And so it is putting agents in every nook and cranny of Windows, starting with the taskbar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">On <a href=\"https:\/\/link.chtbl.com\/vergecast\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this episode of The Vergecast<\/a>, Nilay and David try to figure out what Microsoft is up to, and what a big push toward agent-ifying your computer might actually look like. They also talk about the launch of Gemini 3, Google\u2019s best model yet, and whether Google is starting to build a lead over the rest of the industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">After that, the hosts discuss the end of the Meta antitrust trial, in which Judge Boasberg found that Meta was not a monopoly. Boasberg\u2019s opinion is a smart and somewhat cutting take on the current state of the web \u2014 and includes some Greek philosophy, which we can\u2019t help but talk about. This case definitely isn\u2019t over, but it\u2019s looking good for Meta so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Finally, in the lightning round, it\u2019s time for a jam-packed episode of Brendan Carr is a Dummy, followed by talk of Matter 1.5, MS NOW\u2019s rebrand, and the Boox Palma 2 Pro\u2019s screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">If you want to know more about everything we discuss in this episode, here are some links to get you started, first on Microsoft and Google:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">And in Meta monopoly news:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">And in the lightning round:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For a long, long time, Windows looked like Windows.
