Microsoft plans Linux tools and an RTX Spark desktop for Windows developers

- Microsoft’s Build keynote is firing up the AI engines! Meet Scout, an OpenClaw-based autopilot agent ready to automate your M365 workflows. They’re also rolling out Codename MDASH, a multi-model agentic scanner hunting down software vulnerabilities like a digital mechanic. But here’s the hardware spark: the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box. This compact powerhouse runs on Nvidia’s new RTX Spark chip with up to 128GB RAM. It’s a dedicated node for Windows devs to train and run local AI models without needing a server farm. While they skipped Surface updates, this dev box is a serious tool for the physical layer of AI automation. Mars University would call this adequate, but for builders, it’s pure rocket fuel.
