As soon as we follow the news from Microsoft, we will surely know the commitment of the company founded by Bill Gates to artificial intelligence, a commitment that confirms, once again, the good work of Satya Nadella at the head of the company, replacing the controversial Steve Ballmer.
Since Windows has been the most widely used operating system in the world for several decades, it is only fitting that it is responsible for leading the way for peripherals, especially with the keyboard. With the release of Windows 95, Microsoft forced manufacturers to introduce a new key on keyboards, a key with the Windows icon that was located in the available space between the Ctrl and Alt keys to the right of the space bar .
Copilot will have its own key on the keyboards
Additionally, new keys were also introduced on the right side of the space bar that each manufacturer could use interchangeably, although most chose to offer the same operation. Thanks to Microsoft’s commitment to Artificial Intelligence, all manufacturers who do not know what to do with this key, thanks to Windows, will be able to use it to activate Copilot.
This new key that we will see in the upcoming laptop models, is located on the right side of the space bar, also to the right of the Alt key. It will depend on each manufacturer how it is implemented, since some include a Windows key on the right side of the bar and others a Function key. . . What is clear is that, as we can see in the video that we show you above, Windows artificial intelligence, called Copilot, will play a very important role in the future of Windows.
With the launch of Copilot for Windows 11 (it will also come to Windows 10 as an update), the Redmond-based company has added a shortcut to the Windows taskbar that allows you to always have this AI at your fingertips . However, it seems that this is not enough for Microsoft and it wants to make sure that everyone has access to it at their fingertips.
This announcement was made a few days before the CES celebration, of which HardZone will give you a good report. Given the announcement date of this new keyboard function, it is more than likely that next week the first laptops that will hit the market with this operational key will be presented.
Copilot, the artificial intelligence integrated into Windows 11, has been available for several months in all countries, with the exception of countries that are part of the European Union. This is due to the law on digital markets, a law that Microsoft must respect to launch this AI on the old continent and which is linked to the processing of the data collected.
The availability of Copilot in Europe is scheduled for this January, although its launch will likely be delayed until the first laptops and keyboards with this new dedicated Copilot key hit the market because otherwise it won’t will have no assigned function.
