Microsoft Makes Its Case to Developers at Build Conference in San Francisco (Liveblog)

Microsoft has been working on Windows 10 for a while now, but on Wednesday it faces the task of convincing developers it is ready for primetime. Or at least worthy of developers’ time.

Satya Nadella will kick off Microsoft’s Build conference in San Francisco, before being joined by other top Microsoft executives. On the Windows front, Microsoft is gearing up for a summer release of Windows 10, but still has one or two tricks up its sleeve, we are told. Already shown are the new start menu and Project Spartan, an all-new browser designed to replace the aging Internet Explorer for most consumers.

Windows isn’t the only thing on tap. Microsoft is expected to talk up the opportunities to build on top of both Office and the Microsoft Azure cloud service.

Re/code will have live coverage starting at 8:30 am PT.

We're here to shed some clarity

One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal. Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
