Microsoft Windows 8.1 'Blue' public preview will be released at Build in June

On the fence about heading to Build? Microsoft's annual conference is scheduled from June 26-28, and developers in attendance will likely hear quite a bit more about the latest version of the company's OS. MS will also make a public preview available during the event, Julie Larson-Green shared at the Wired Business Conference in New York City today. A final version of Windows 8.1 "Blue" is expected by the end of the year, bringing cosmetic updates and other features, such as a new side-by-side app view and Internet Explorer 11. In March, we managed to dig through pre-release build 9364 -- it sounds like we'll be able to take a much closer look at the new operating system this summer, but you can click through our gallery of screenshots for an early preview, right now.
