The Microsoft Build 2017 Recap: What To Expect When You’re Expecting Windows

Microsoft's Build conference is one of their most important shows of the year, with a developer focused discussion that provides some guidance on the direction of Microsoft and its platforms. Over the last couple of years, the platforms have been some of the bigger talking points as well, with Microsoft diversifying across new technologies and markets to try and stay ahead of the curve. Microsoft has predominantly been a platform company over the years, and it's a rare product they release that doesn't end up as a platform of some kind. Over the years, the focus on some platforms has had to adjust in order to keep up with the times, and that's not always an easy goal to accomplish when your original platform, Windows, has been so successful since its inception.
