At the Microsoft event, the big point of differentiation was the integration of AI in an accessible and friendly way. Microsoft showcased AI features that are coming to Windows, making it part of the workflow and useful. The focus was on how AI can help users rather than just showcasing its capabilities. Microsoft's approach is to make AI applications frictionless and seamlessly integrated into their products. The event also highlighted the shift from Intel to Qualcomm chips in PCs, signaling a potential change in the PC world. Apple may be under pressure to match Microsoft's advancements in AI and software integration.
