I like AI, but I think that Microsoft's approach was all wrong for handling it. Instead, they should have made a completely new Windows built from the ground up to be AI-oriented, and kept Windows 1X as mainline.

Once the AI Windows was fully cooked, Microsoft could have either released it as Windows 20, or give it an entirely new name when the time to start pushing it out to the public has arrived. This would give time for suitable hardware to arrive and to sort out teething issues, along with just having a platform that is free of legacy spaghetti code.
