Microsoft 在关键时刻打瞌睡,隐藏的代码揭示了 Google 在 Windows 上的大规模 AI 推进

Google 曾向反垄断监管机构求助,试图撬开 Microsoft 的桌面搜索。近20年后,隐藏的代码显示 Google 正在构建一个跨越 Windows 本身的 AI 层。

为何重要

Microsoft 拥有 Windows。Google 拥有消费者对 “Google it.” 的本能反射。AI 让 Google 有机会将这一习惯从网络扩展到文件、应用以及用户屏幕上正在发生的任何事情。

Reporting record

Finding

RuntimeWire established that a Google Windows executable compiled on September 6, 2026 contains unreleased infrastructure for continuous Search Live conversations, mouse- and window-triggered AI, File Explorer integrations, selectable tools and models, structured screen extraction, and an Agent Task mode.

How we verified

Methods: reverse engineering, documents.

The strongest evidence is the examined executable's PE timestamp of 2026-09-06 17:33:27 UTC, SHA-256 hash 2c7c0bff4ac5ce6cff16c2cc067b365f29a6c7d6ce81e671023e12d7307cb50a, feature flags, implementation names, Windows integration paths, tool and model identifiers, and Chromium strings describing a system-wide Search with Chrome surface.

RuntimeWire examined and reverse-engineered the Google Windows executable, including its PE metadata, feature flags, code and interface identifiers, error states, Windows event handling, shell integration paths, tool and model catalogs, and content-extraction structures, then compared those findings with Google's public Windows and mobile product documentation and Chromium strings.

Tested versions:

  • Google for Windows / WGA version 1.0.21.1

Reproduction

近 20 年前,Google 向美国反垄断监管机构投诉称 Microsoft 在使用 Windows Vista 时让 Google Desktop Search 处于不利地位。司法部介入,2007 年 Microsoft 同意允许用户和 PC 制造商选择竞争的桌面搜索产品,并让 Windows 尊重该选择。

现在 Google 又回到 Windows 内部,其野心似乎远不止桌面搜索。

RuntimeWire 检查了一个编译于 2026 年 9 月 6 日的 Google Windows 可执行文件,里面包含尚未发布的基础设施,用于持续的 Search Live 对话、与特定窗口绑定的鼠标触发 AI、File Explorer 操作、可选择的 AI 工具和模型、更丰富的屏幕理解以及一个 Agent Task 模式。

Google 的 Windows 应用仍然主要呈现为一种从 PC 任意位置快速搜索的方式。但底层代码指向更接近操作系统层的 AI 层,它可以在整个操作系统中跟随用户。

已编译的代码反映的是开发工作而非发布承诺,Google 可能会在这些功能到达用户前更改或放弃其中任何一个。然而,将这些片段综合起来看,显示出 Google 正在构建更多方式来在用户已经所在的位置召唤其助手,同时将用户的即时上下文带入交互中。…
