In the middle of the opening of the Microsoft Build 2021 developer conference, Nadella announced "a new generation" for the operating system.
"We will soon share one of the most important Windows updates of the last decade to unlock greater economic opportunities for developers and creators," said the CEO. "I am incredibly excited about the next generation of Windows."
"We will create more opportunities for all Windows developers today and welcome all creators looking for the most innovative, new and open platform to create, distribute and monetize applications," continued Nadella. Microsoft has been working on a new Windows app store in recent months.
“Sun Valley”
Microsoft suggests that the company is preparing a more significant change with the Windows brand than just the user interface.
For months, the visual update that the operating system expects to have in all its aspects has been known by the code name "Sun Valley". It seeks to be cleaner and more minimalist, in addition to renewing the icons it maintains.
Nadella says we'll hear more about the future of Windows "very soon," so we expect some kind of announcement or event in the coming weeks.
