From a PCMag.com article:
"Microsoft’s BUILD developer’s conference kicks off today with a keynote that’s expected to focus on the next version of the company’s core software, Windows 8. The event starts at 12 noon Eastern (9 a.m. Pacific), and PCMag is covering the event live—scroll down to read our up-to-the-second coverage and take part in the discussion.
Of course, Windows 8 is still just a code name—no one knows what Microsoft may end up calling the new operating system when it’s released to the public next year, but we do know that it’s going to be a major revamp aimed at getting Windows to work on as many devices as possible.
Chief among those devices: tablets. Since Windows 7 came out, Microsoft has seen Apple’s iPad completely change the market of personal computers. The iPad has hanged what people think of as a computer, and what they expect from one (though it’s apparently not to blame for dipping PC sales). So far, though, no other tablet device has come close to challenging the iPad."
