Microsoft CEO in the country to launch Windows 10

Less than a week after U.S. President Barack Obama’s historic visit to Kenya for the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES), Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is in Kenya for the worldwide launch of Windows 10 Operating System.

All eyes will be on Nairobi as one of the 13 cities spread across the globe hosting the much anticipated windows 10 release in what is considered as the biggest launch party in the company’s history.

Nadella announced his arrival in the country via his twitter account.

Nadella is in Nanyuki to witness Microsoft’s low-cost wireless internet connection project that uses TV white spaces to connect remote areas cut off from the electricity grid.

The project is the first to implement the technology in Africa.

Windows 10 will be available on tablets and Personal Computers in 190 countries although the free update is only available for windows 7 or windows 8.1.

In addition to new features, Microsoft is expected to announce windows 10 as the most secure platform yet and an upgraded conducive environment for developers.

Kenya, home to Africa’s ‘Silicon Valley’, is set to be the continent’s ultimate tech hub as it pioneered a mobile technology economy that points to future trends in the rest of the world.
