Microsoft To Hold Windows 9 Event In San Francisco


HOUSTON: Software giant Microsoft is expected to provide a technical preview of its new Windows 9 operating system at an event in San Francisco later in September.

The event, billed as a chance to "hear about what's next for Windows and the enterprise", will be held on September 30.

The company yesterday sent out invitations for the event which experts say will talk in broad strokes about features aimed at corporate users for the next version of Windows, which people are informally calling "Windows 9".

Windows 9 has sprung a dozen leaks, with videos showing off its new Start Menu functionality, along with a number of business-facing features, like virtual desktops.

Screenshots and videos of the Windows Technical Preview have leaked over the past week, revealing the addition of a new Start menu, a virtual desktops feature, and a Notification Center.

Microsoft is expected to deliver a "Windows Technical Preview" at the event or soon after so that developers and enterprise customers can evaluate a number of changes the company is making.
