There are only a few hours left for the Microsoft Event and these are some keys to keep in mind

Very few hours are left to find out what Microsoft is preparing for the Spring Event. And it is that with the Creators Update already on the street and enough time to meet Redstone 3, we have some names that are emerging as protagonists.

News in _hardware_ (we can't wait) but also in _software_ and thus we find ourselves with the expected Surface Pro 5 about which we have had a huge amount of information in the last few hours or the arrival of Windows 10 Cloud on board the new device.Let's see what we can see in a few hours, what may be the pillars on which Microsoft builds its presentation

Windows for Education

Windows 10 Cloud is Microsoft's bet and although we still don't know for sure which name will be used at the end (whether Windows 10 Cloud or Windows 10 S) it is clear that from Redmond they want to bet on a lighter and lighter operating system Ideal for the educational sector and in general for those users who do not require power and who do not want to complicate their lives.

Enter the Windows Store, download the application and get started. And in case you want to use desktop applications, offer the possibility of obtaining a license for a Home or Professional edition. But above all simple and light.

New devices

We have seen the renewed Surface in the Surface Pro 5 version. A renewal that leaves behind the convertible concept to become one more compact laptop with which they want to stand up to ChromeBooks how well they are doing in education.

A series of devices that can be presented based on Windows 10 Cloud and that would be clearly oriented towards education thanks to the use of Microsoft's own services. Devices with features that would not be outstanding but that would perform perfectly thanks to Quad-core processors that would be complemented by 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB or 64 GB of storage which would also be compatible with stylus. And above all, a reasonable price.

Universal Applications

And returning to services from Redmond could remark their effort in supporting Universal Applications It would be about making it easier for users to get hold of for example Office 365 subscriptions from the Windows Store or if they do not consider it necessary to use a lighter version thanks to the support of the Centennial Project.

Microsoft could make efforts to leverage the converter of desktop apps and .NET apps to Universal Apps to allow users that cross mobile platforms or tablets could have access to equally complete but lighter applications, adapted to other capacities.

There are therefore only a few hours left to find out what new features they may present. In Spain we will be able to see all the news from 3:30 p.m., while from New York it will be possible to follow from 09:30 a.m.
