People want to give you snarky responses without having read the article.

This is a push for a new way to interact with computers. Using natural language, at every part of the interface, to give the computer instruction. Allowing those instructions to be dialog.

Also, on the topic of keyboard vs voice, I think differently when my thoughts are expressed through typing and speech. A computer that can follow my babble around (which would also need eye tracking or some brain connection to fully understand the context of each thought) is radically different than using a mouse or keyboard commands to select focus.

If anything, this marketing copy appears to be a push towards a first preview of the future. What you can actually do with it is rudimentary, but the paradigm of _how_ you interact is a major behavior change that is required first before full capability can be unlocked. We are probably close than people believe to a full holodeck experience of interacting in a fully 3d rendered environment, and having it manifest change realtime. At some point the interface of the shell fades away completely, or at least optionally.
