Windows Returns to Microsoft’s Core Strategy
▼ Summary
– Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella started the Build keynote with Windows and the Surface RTX Spark Dev Kit, calling it a “dream machine.”
– Nadella did not address Windows 11 issues during the keynote.
– The Surface RTX Spark Dev Kit launch followed Nvidia’s return to Windows on Arm with new RTX Spark chips.
– Both Microsoft and Nvidia are promoting RTX Spark chips as a new beginning for PCs.
– RTX Spark chips are expected to drive local AI workloads in a way Microsoft’s previous hardware could not.
I can’t recall the last time a Build keynote opened with Windows taking center stage, yet that’s exactly what CEO Satya Nadella did this week. Rather than dwelling on the issues Microsoft is trying to resolve in Windows 11, Nadella chose to charm the crowd by showcasing the company’s sleek Surface RTX Spark Dev Kit, calling it a “dream machine.”
The new Surface hardware arrived just days after Nvidia officially returned to Windows on Arm with its latest RTX Spark chips. Both companies are positioning these processors as the dawn of a new era for PCs. The message is clear: RTX Spark is built to handle local AI workloads in ways that Microsoft’s previous efforts couldn’t fully deliver.
