It appears Microsoft is prepared to share more details about the next major feature update for Windows 10 which is expected in early 2017. We might even hear about new hardware that has been rumored for the last couple of months.

New Surface Likely to Appear at Microsoft's October Event

In a very brief blog post on the Windows Experience site, the Windows and Devices Team have revealed plans for a Windows 10 event in New York City on 26 October.

Beyond the date and time, 10:00 AM on the 26th, there are not many other details except the phrases Imagine what you'll do and See what's next for Windows 10.

The event will be live streamed for everyone to watch along from home.

I suspect we may finally get a roadmap for some of the features that will be included in Redstone 2, the next major update to Windows 10, which is expected to be shipped sometime in early 2017.

What is missing from the announcement for this event is any mention of hardware. There have been rumors of a Surface All-In-One device being unveiled this fall and that recently gained some credibility with images of a mouse and keyboard from an FCC website filing.

No doubt that this is an item we will be keeping a very close eye on.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
