This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, June 3rd, 26. We're here to tell you what you need to know, give you some important context and try to help each other understand.

Today, Microsoft launches an operating system for agents

based on Android. That is not a sentence I was predicting this year. I'm Tom Merritt. And I'm Sarah

Lane. Let's start with what you need to know with the big story. So while we were recording

yesterday's show, Microsoft was continuing in its two and a half hour

That is the Android Open Source Project.

So it is Android-based, but it's not a Google version of Android.

But it's also not Windows.

It is, however, designed to run your choice of agents.

Whatever agents you want, it can run. This is something we've

agents. Microsoft's version takes advantage of Microsoft services. So it will use Microsoft Defender,

Intune, Entra ID. This is very enterprise-focused stuff, but if you're in that world, that's good to know.

And then it uses agents to create the interface on the fly as needed. Whatever device you're

just-in-time UI. And to be clear, Microsoft does not have any shipping products yet. It is just getting the jump

on sharing what it's developing. Microsoft has two working prototypes that it showed off that run

Project Solaris OS. The OS, by the way, is called the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform, or
