The event will be live-streamed, but that's all that the company is revealing at the moment.
The invite to the event comes a week after Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella teased the future of the Windows operating system at its keynote address during the Build 2021 developer conference.
“Soon we will share one of the most significant updates of Windows of the past decade to unlock greater economic opportunity for developers and creators,” said Nadella.
“Our promise to you is this: We will create more opportunities for every Windows developer today and welcome every creator who is looking for the most innovative, new, open platform to build and distribute and monetize applications,” he further added.
Computer Weekly had earlier reported that Microsoft is set
to deliver not one, but two major updates to Windows in 2021.
According to them, the first major update would be Windows
10X, a new, lighter-weight version of Windows for new hardware, while the
second will be a long-awaited user interface refresh of Windows 10, with user
interface elements already being tested out on Xbox.
It was earlier reported that Microsoft was preparing to
redesign the icons from its Windows 95 days for the new updated Sun Valley, the
codename for Microsoft's plan to overhaul Windows. As per reports, the tech
giant has planned a "sweeping visual rejuvenation" for Windows 10
update which is expected later this year and has been slowly improving its
icons.
This news brings a massive wave of enthusiasm for techies, tech enthusiasts and the general public alike. Windows is one of the most popular operating systems out there and everyone is keen to know what the future holds for this OS that has been a part of so many lives, over the past so many years.
