Might Microsoft be ready to reveal the latest version of its Windows operating system?
The Verge reports Microsoft is planning an event September 30, where it will announce Windows 9. The report cites “sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans.”
The event will showcase several upgrades to the user interface, says the report, and may even include Cortana, Microsoft’s voice assistant.
The new Windows OS would be the first launch under Satya Nadella, who took over as CEO of Microsoft earlier this year. Nadella has focused on shifting Microsoft toward a strategy aimed at the mobile and cloud space.
Earlier this year, Microsoft announced it was cutting up to 18,000 jobs over the next year, most of which are related to the acquisition of Nokia’s handset business, which the company closed in April.
