Al via il WorldWide Partner Conference 2012 di Microsoft, cosa aspettarsi?

Giugno è stato sicuramente un mese molto caldo in casa Redmond grazie all’anteprima di Windows Phone 8 al Developer Summit ed alla presentazione del primo tablet di Microsoft, il Surface. Questa settimana, invece, si terrà il Worldwide Partner Conference 2012 a Toronto, evento di cadenza annuale che dovrebbe svelare importanti novità per quanto riguarda la roadmap dell’azienda.

WPC 2012

Al WPC 2012 dovremo assistere a rilevanti annunci da parte di Microsoft riguardanti la distribuzione dei prossimi prodotti ed, in particolare, iniziative ed accordi stipulati con i diversi partners. Lo scorso anno l’azienda presentò i primi device Samsung, Acer, Fujitsu e ZTE con Mango a bordo, risulta quindi lecito pensare che anche quest’anno ci possano essere rivelazioni importati per quanto riguarda l’accordo con i produttori in ambito Windows Phone e Windows 8.

WindowsPhoneDaily.com ha evidenziato alcuni importati eventi che si terranno lungo l’arco della settimana, eccoli riportati qui in basso:
