Windows 11 May Be Revealed On June 24
Microsoft is teasing a June 24 event where the company will detail the "next generation of Windows," The Verge reports, and it seems to be a numbered version of the operating system. Invites for Microsoft's Windows presentation have started circulating before it goes live at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, and according to The Verge, the company might just pull back the curtain on Windows 11.
There's not yet any official word confirming that Microsoft will reveal Windows 11, but there seem to be some clues that give the announcement away, particularly in the invite. A light shines through the Windows logo, illuminating what could be viewed as the number 11. Further, the event starts at 11 AM ET and after the invites went out, executive Yusuf Mehdi said he hasn't "been this excited for a new version of Windows since Windows 95." These coincidences suggest Windows 11 may be imminent.
Whether it's called Windows 11 or not, what's to come in this "new version" sounds huge. CEO Satya Nadella said Microsoft wants to create opportunities for "every Windows developer today and welcome every creator who is looking for the most, innovate, new, open platform to build and distribute and monetize applications." This includes visual tweaks and feature integration from the Xbox platform. There's also speculation of something codenamed "Sun Valley" that Microsoft has dubbed as a "sweeping visual rejuvenation of Windows," though nothing has been specified.
