A new "clean design" with all extraneous menus and buttons removed!

(Yes, this concept of "control everything through an AI" is just a command line, but worse. But that's not how the investors see it!)

The year is 2027, I type “word” into my Windows 12 Copilot edition and wonder what’s its response will be this time: will it define the term “word”? Will it open the web version of word on edge+copilot tm? Will it open the desktop word app? Or will it assume I’m saying “word” like the slang term popular in 90 rap and respond to me in kind as if I want a conversation?

I'd say the only way to use this without going tear-your-hair-out mad would be to use the chatbot to open a command prompt window and use that to actually do things, it'll be like going back in time to the DOS era, everyone using Windows will have to learn the terminal they're so afraid of Linux because of, but those chatbots are so damn inconsistent that I doubt they'd even consistently give you the command prompt window when you ask for one. Assuming that MS don't remove the option entirely, of course.
