Pay attention: Build 2017 is approaching and these may be some of the key points to follow at the Microsoft event
The MicrosoftEDU event is over and with it everything we saw presented. And no, it does not mean that there is no longer going to be talk about the Surface Laptop (by the way, what an ugly name) or Windows 10 S, but that may be other protagonists that monopolize the lights
And since despite the presence of Panos Panay we have ruled out the presentation of the supposed Surface Pro 5, it's time to think about what we can see in BUILD 2017 , which on the other hand is the next event on the company's calendar and which will take place in just over 24 hours.
Neon Project and Redsotone 3
One of the stars of this Build will almost certainly be called Project Neon, the new Windows design language. And it is to be expected that the people of Redmond will finally present the new set of APIs and tools with which applications can benefit from this new aesthetic.
A sample for developers to see what is the path to follow, what are the tools to achieve it and what can be the results obtainedSomething that if you are a member of the Insider Program you have already experienced in some system applications.
Also Redstone 3, the name by which we now know the next big update, is called to be the protagonist.And it is that although we know that it will be released at the end of the year, we have few details about the novelties that it can bring, above all because we rule out an environment designed for education, something that Windows 10 S will take care of.
And yes, we will hear about security, especially after the recent problem with Windows Defender. In this sense, in Redstone 3 the security of Edge can be important thanks to its integration with Windows Defender Application Guard.
One interface for everyone
Another of the protagonists could be CShell or what is the same, the Windows Adaptive Interface, a work that has been going on for time developing from Redmond and for which it is sought that the same interface is appreciated in an adequate way on any device.
In this way we will not be limited by screen resolutions and aspect ratios although it is to be expected that Microsoft will set some limits in form of requirements that the devices must meet in order to make use of this improvement.
"And among the changes in the interface we can see new features such as the My People application which now sees how they are added to the taskbar icons with the image of our contacts, icons with which we can also interact."
Windows Mixed Reality
It is called to be one of the bases of this BUILD 2017 and it is that by tiptoeing through the MicrosoftEDU event it is to be expected that now those from Redmond want to show off the projects they are working on . They will want to talk about the improvements and possibilities for the developer so that they can create applications on [a hardware that has nothing to envy to models of the competition already mentioned.
Application improvements
Windows applications and therefore the Windows Store need to go under the knife and be at least in appearance comparable to the App Store and to the Google Play Store. It is about convincing the user that they can find any application they need in the Windows Store. Convince him and also make it true.
And it is that with the arrival of Windows 10 S and the limitation of applications to install (only those from the Store of Windows) this step seems fundamental. But not only will they have to attract or convince users, but also developers will have a fundamental role, since apart from being a conference for developers they will have to try to convince them of the benefits of the system so that they can launch their applications on it.
