Microsoft has a Surface showcase and its Build developer conference planned for early next week. Here's what we expect.

Microsoft is expected to spend some time taking the wraps off its next major Windows 11 update, which will ship later this year as the Windows 11 2024 Update. This release will ship first on new Qualcomm Snapdragon X -based PCs launching in June and will roll out to everyone else in the fall.

Copilot, AI, and Azure programming will feature strongly at Microsoft's annual developer conference, but there will likely be surprises—and even hardware.
