There have been a lot of rumors in the past about the "Microsoft Surface Pro 5" and the "Surface Phone." One such claim is that these will be launched early this year. Now, recently, Microsoft announced that they will have big even in New York next month, and many are hoping that the event will be for the launch of these devices.
Many experts believe that the event will not be for the launch of the "Surface Pro 5" and the "Surface Phone." Many say that the latter won't be released until next year. There is no word yet about the "Surface Pro 5," and it's really hard to guess because Microsoft does not have a pattern for their announcement of the "Surface Pro." Travelers Today has previously reported about the rumored specs about the "Surface Phone."
According to ZDNet, the upcoming event codenamed "Bespin" will be held on May 2, and it will highlight the "Windows Cloud" version of "Windows 10." "Windows Cloud" is designed to run Universal Windows Platform/Windows Store apps only. It will go against Google's "Chromebook" in the educational market. Microsoft is using the hashtag "#MicrosoftEDU" to promote the event.
BGR said that "Windows Cloud" is essentially a continuation of "Windows RT." It is said to run on cheaper hardware, and it will be a simple "and presumably more secure and manageable" version of "Windows 10." We all know that Microsoft has tried had to compete with "Chromebooks" in the past, but nothing really worked out. Their "Intune for Education," made to manage 30 or so PCs per classroom easy, but it was not able to topple "Chromebook."
Google's "Chrome OS" is very popular in the education markets because of its affordable hardware. The upcoming event will hopefully provide details about the "Windows Cloud" hardware and software, and tech experts will decide next month if this a better alternative to Google's product.
