    Windows to get ‘significant’ overhaul – details coming 24 June

    Microsoft will unveil a new version of its flagship Windows software on 24 June, an update that CEO Satya Nadella has termed one of the “most significant” overhauls to the PC operating system in a decade.

    The new software will include changes to the design, added opportunities for creators and developers via the Windows app store, and ways to more easily build connections between users and communities they care about, the company said.

    The software will be rolled out to so-called Windows Insiders who sign up to test new products after the event, and is likely to be released widely this spring.

    Microsoft on Wednesday sent out an invitation to the event with Nadella and chief product officer Panos Panay. Nadella mentioned the new version of Windows at a developer event last month.  — Reported by Dina Bass, (c) 2021 Bloomberg LP
