At the Build conference, which Microsoft dedicates to its developer community, CEO Satya Nadella gave some previews on Windows 11, the next update of the computer operating system, expected by the end of the year.
"The new generation of Windows will be unveiled over the next few months," Microsoft's chief announced. "This is one of the most significant Windows updates in the past decade. I have tried it myself and am incredibly excited about it." Microsoft hasn't revealed much about Windows 11, codenamed Sun Valley so far, but Nadella explained that the behind-the-scenes work involved a massive visual redesign of the user experience. For example, there will be new icons and the related disposal of existing ones since the arrival of Windows 95; the geometric corners will leave room for more rounded shapes and the Start menu has also been remodeled, to show more useful information as time goes by. In addition, a new, enlarged Windows app store is planned.where developers will be able to send any type of application for Windows, including browsers such as Chrome or Firefox, until now excluded.
This will allow, according to experts, to return a scenario similar to the one that affects smartphone app stores, the App Store and Play Store, where the presence of a program certifies, at least in part, its safety and the absence of malware. and viruses. To be sure, Nadella did not turn to Windows with the number "11". In fact, since the launch of Windows 10, Microsoft has declared that it wants to abandon the numerical sequence, simply launching periodic updates, without upsetting the underlying idea of the software.
