Microsoft hints at Windows 12 with 'hybrid intelligence' vision

At its Surface and Windows event, Microsoft outlined the foundation of Windows 12 — a 'hybrid intelligence' concept integrating local and cloud AI agents into the OS. It showed the MXC sandbox for agents, malicious prompt detection in Defender, and a new AI-powered Windows Search.

• Windows 12 will be built on a 'hybrid intelligence' concept with AI agents
• MXC will let developers sandbox agents with varying access levels
• Defender will detect malicious prompts before they execute
• Copilot gained access to local files in Windows for the first time
