How does this make Microsoft money? What's their path to selling the result of this feature?
Probably targeted ads, since they claim the data doesn't leave the device, they get the AI to figure out what type of ads to show.
This. The answer is always ads.
And they get it for free, using your electricity and hardware for the AI and also avoids some liability that comes with your personal data/EU compliance.
You need to drop big money for the new PCs that can run this crap... Plus you can bet they'll mine your data and sell you off like a chubby prostitute from the 1800s
This, they are getting kickbacks from laptop OEMs because people will now need to buy expensive computers again. They were stagnating there for a while finding a way to charge people alot who only need a PC for basic tasks, and now they will be buying a laptop basically the same price as a entry/mid gaming laptop. Now you cannot use price to say "oh windows laptops are cheaper than macs". That's out the door. As I said above though, disregarding privacy, Chromebooks are what most people only need for their day to day tasks, and arm based ones last super long on a single charge.
