Microsoft's Build 2016 conference to take place on 30 March; Redstone update, Windows 10 numbers and more

Microsoft’s next Build conference starts on March 30 in San Francisco.

The Build 2016 conference will be held between March 30 and April 1 next year. The announcements at the event are said to be around ’the future of Microsoft and Technology'.

“Microsoft usually uses Build to show off the future of Windows, and the company is currently preparing updates to Windows 10 under the Redstone codename. It’s likely that at least one of those updates will be ready to preview in late March, so Microsoft’s timing could be ideal to once again demo future Windows 10 updates,” TheVerge report points out.

We wonder if next year’s Build will be as interesting as this year. At the Build 2015 , Terry Myerson, Microsoft’s vice president of OS development had made an ambitious announcement and set the goal of Microsoft to have around 1 billion devices running Windows 10 OS within two to three years of its release. Microsoft software development kit (SDK) will let developers use Java or C++ code that many Android apps are based on and transform it into a Windows app with support for Microsoft services, he had said. He had also said that developers can use another SDK to tweak the Objective C code which runs on Apple’s iOS apps, helping get the Apple apps on to the Microsoft platform.
