Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has announced that it will unveil the next generation of its Windows computer operating system on June 24.
Windows, the dominant operating system for personal computers around the world, accounts for 14% of Microsoft’s total revenue. The company has pushed two updates each year to its Windows 10 operating system that was first introduced back in 2015.
Microsoft announced the latest Windows 10 update last month (May) with only slight changes.
Now, the company is working on an update to Windows under the code name "Sun Valley" that includes a more modern look, with rounded corners coming to components such as the 'Start' menu. Microsoft is also planning a revamp of its Windows app store, which would allow developers to use third-party commerce systems, according to multiple media reports.
A launch event for the new Windows operating system is scheduled to be held online at 11 a.m. Eastern Time on June 24.
