Microsoft announces Windows and Surface event for October 7th

微软宣布将于 10 月 7 日举办 Windows 和 Surface 发布会

It’s been more than two years since the last major Windows event, so Microsoft is heading to San Francisco next month to outline the future of Windows and Surface devices. At an event on October 7th, the company says it will host a “conversation on how local AI will shape the next chapter of the PC.” 距离上一次大型 Windows 发布会已经过去了两年多，微软将于下个月前往旧金山，勾勒 Windows 和 Surface 设备的未来。微软表示，在 10 月 7 日的活动中，公司将举办一场关于“本地 AI 如何塑造 PC 下一个篇章”的对话。

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will be in attendance, alongside Windows and Surface chief Pavan Davuluri. Even Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will be appearing at the event, which suggests that RTX Spark PCs could be the main focus of this event. If that’s the case, don’t be surprised to hear more about the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra pricing and availability. 微软首席执行官萨提亚·纳德拉（Satya Nadella）将出席此次活动，Windows 和 Surface 部门负责人帕万·达武鲁里（Pavan Davuluri）也将一同参加。甚至英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋（Jensen Huang）也将现身，这表明 RTX Spark PC 可能是本次活动的重点。如果情况确实如此，那么听到更多关于 Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra 的定价和上市信息也就不足为奇了。

I am also expecting Microsoft to focus on its quality improvements to Windows, and what’s coming next. I am not expecting a surprise announce of Windows 12, though. 我还预计微软将重点介绍其在 Windows 质量方面的改进以及未来的规划。不过，我不认为会有 Windows 12 的惊喜发布。

Microsoft last held a major Windows event in May 2024, to unveil new Arm-based Copilot Plus PCs and its renewed partnership with Qualcomm. The last major Windows event before that was in June 2021, when Microsoft announced Windows 11 during a live stream. 微软上一次举办大型 Windows 发布会是在 2024 年 5 月，当时推出了基于 Arm 架构的 Copilot Plus PC，并宣布了与高通的深度合作。在此之前，上一次大型 Windows 发布会是在 2021 年 6 月，当时微软通过直播宣布了 Windows 11。
