Noise: Microsoft gets tangled up in AI for Windows

General News

Summary

Microsoft is pushing new AI plans for Windows, but the message remains unclear and the local AI value on Windows notebooks is still limited. The article highlights RTX Spark systems based on Nvidia and MediaTek chips that Microsoft and major laptop makers plan to ship from autumn 2026. It also notes that Microsoft’s paid Copilot features still run in Azure data centers rather than on the user’s device. In parallel, France has announced major planned IT investments, led by SoftBank-backed spending on AI data centers in northern France.
