Expect a bunch of new developer tools to go along with Microsoft’s fresh Copilot Plus PCs announcement. Microsoft is kicking off its three-day Build developer conference on Tuesday, May 21st, with a livestream starting at 11:30AM ET / 8:30AM PT. It’ll lead into an in-person keynote led by CEO Satya Nadella, which commences at 12PM ET / 9AM PT, followed by developer sessions that will come available to check out online.
Build is Microsoft’s developer conference where the company provides in-depth sessions for developers and professionals alike to get familiar with tools supporting new Windows 11 and Microsoft 365 features. This time, we’re expecting plenty of new AI announcements and sessions related to just-announced AI features like Recall.
Microsoft made a huge splash in the PC world on Monday announcing new Arm-powered “Copilot Plus PCs,” including a brand-new Surface Laptop and tablet. The new devices come with an emulation layer called Prism that promises seamless compatibility with x86 apps on Windows — taking a page out of Apple’s successful transition to its own M-series chips.
However, as Tom Warren wrote in his Notepad newsletter after the Surface event, “Apple’s success with the M1 was thanks to developers quickly porting apps to be fully native. Windows needs that same level of support from its developer community.” We’ll see this week if Microsoft has all the tools it needs to make that happen.
