(Bloomberg) --Microsoft Corp. will unveil a new version of its flagship Windows software on June 24, an update that Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella has termed one of the “most significant” overhauls to the personal computer operating system this decade.

The new software will include changes to the design, added opportunities for creators and developers via the Windows app store, and ways to more easily build connections between users and communities they care about, the company said. The software will be rolled out to so-called Windows Insiders who sign up to test new products after the event, and is likely to be released widely this fall.

Microsoft on Wednesday sent out an invitation to the event with Nadella and Chief Product Officer Panos Panay. Nadella mentioned the new version of Windows at a developer event last month.

    “most significant” overhauls … this decade. Well, how amazing, considering we are only 18 months into “this decade”. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it… maybe just another scheme to extract a few dollars more.

  • Dianne Morran says:

    I find the constant reference to the technical incompetence of the “grandma” generation disparaging and discriminatory. I object as a technically competent 60+ year old!

  • Phyllis Orner says:

    I totally agree with Dianne. The ‘grandma” reference is both ageist and sexist, and completely unnecessary!
