And it is a great thing for us because it's an opportunity for us to build platform primitives, user experience capabilities, integration capabilities, Windows to serve them.

And we get great signal for them to your point on where does Windows go in the future in itself.

And I think for us, it is our responsibility to kind of do both pieces.

We have to walk and chew gum.

And so we have to be able to make sure Windows is great for our customers today as they know and love it.

And then there's our opportunity to find a way to bring these new capabilities in ways that make sense to them across the diversity of our user base.

Sure, yeah.

You nailed it, actually.

I think for us, the reality is we have a breadth of customers, which by definition means

Different customers are in different places in terms of how they think about AI and where they are in the adoption of the product and the technology in itself.

I think it's our responsibility in Windows for making that be accessible to customers at the rate at which they find it valuable and useful for themselves.

And so we do have a set of principles that we use in terms of how we product make and how we actually roll out these capabilities.

The first was exactly what you just mentioned, which is we think deeply about making these core features opt-in for customers.

We have mechanisms and listing systems in our products and with our customers for making sure, one, we have good signal from them in terms of where they are on the journey in itself.

For sure, make sure we start with a set of opt-in capabilities.

So it is a thing that customers can use, try, learn, experiment.

both give us feedback as well as learn where it adds value in their workflow.

The second big construct for us is making sure these experiences are secure, and so we ourselves feel like we have a responsibility for making sure the Windows platform is secure in itself, and then we're creating an environment where others can build on top of the platform with primitives,

that are also inherently secure.

A lot of the work we're doing, in fact, in the agent space, for example, is to introduce this notion of an agent workspace and to be able to give people or give developers and customers an environment that they can monitor, observe, where there's parameters and guardrails for security, for instance, and corporate governance for
