CEO Satya Nadella has confirmed that Microsoft is working on the next generation of Windows, which features a new design language internally codenamed "Sun Valley" and is reportedly launching later this year.
"Windows brings together all developer and collaboration tools in one place. It lets you choose the hardware you want, works with Linux and Windows as one, and has a modern terminal. And soon we will share one of the most significant updates to Windows of the past decade to unlock greater economic opportunity for developers and creators," Nadella said during Build 2021 conference.
Microsoft employees, including Nadella, have been self-hosting the preview build of the next generation of Windows that will be released to testers in June.
Microsoft is developing a new virtualized Windows PC experience called 'Cloud PC' that will allow business customers to run their personal desktop in the cloud and access it remotely using their devices.
As mentioned, reports have suggested that Microsoft is creating an Android subsystem for Windows 10 based on the Windows Subsystem for Linux to enable native support for Android apps.
Reports have suggested that Microsoft will be holding a new event, "What's next for Windows," in June to announce the "New Windows" or the next generation of Windows.
