Microsoft simply teased its subsequent main occasion however gave little clue as to what the corporate is about to disclose.

The occasion is scheduled for October 12, 2022, at 10 AM ET. Past that, there may be little or no else in the best way of particulars, and we have reached out to Microsoft for some clarification about what the occasion is about to showcase. We’ll replace this story with any information if and once we hear again from the corporate.

Within the meantime, we will ruthlessly speculate about what Microsoft has in retailer, and we even have some clues within the announcement picture itself.

The picture is a stylized model of the Home windows 11 desktop background, so it is secure to say it is possible one thing Home windows associated. And for the reason that picture has a decidedly impressionistic vibe to it, we would say it will be a brand new Microsoft Floor gadget, probably an replace to the Microsoft Floor Studio line, both a brand new desktop or a refresh of the Floor Laptop computer Studio.

That latter gadget is barely a couple of 12 months previous although, so it is possible too quickly to see a serious refresh of the gadget, however one thing alongside these traces is unquestionably attainable.

What else would possibly we see at Microsoft’s October occasion?

Microsoft normally does not do a complete lot of occasions (in contrast to Apple), however after they do, they do attempt to squeeze in as a lot as they will, so if we’re going to see a brand new Floor gadget, it is not prone to present up by itself.

One factor, particularly, we count on to see is one other Accessibility-focused product, like final 12 months’s Floor Adaptive Equipment and this 12 months’s Adaptive Equipment. We anticipate that we’ll see extra alongside these traces on the October occasion, and we’re glad to see it. For all of Microsoft’s faults, and all large tech corporations have them, Microsoft is way and away one of the best tech model for accessibility on the market.

Apart from that, we might see another peripheral enhancements to issues just like the Floor Pen, HoloLens, and extra. Given the rising “post-pandemic” skilled surroundings, we won’t rule out an entire refresh of the Floor lineup both, on condition that many merchandise are in various levels in want of a touch-up with new {hardware} and different varied enhancements.

We can also’t sleep on Home windows 11 on ARM, both. Microsoft has been plugging away at its personal silicon, much like what Apple has completed with its M-series chips, and whereas we extremely doubt Microsoft goes to introduce its personal ARM processors, it is one thing that has been effervescent up within the background on a gradual boil for some time now.

That final bit has very lengthy odds at this level, but when Microsoft goes to decide to Home windows on ARM, one thing like that is going to need to be introduced ultimately. Whether or not that is that point stays to be seen, but it surely’d be an attention-grabbing twist, to say the least.
