Microsoft is really outdoing itself providing web developers with a collection of tools designed to help out tailor their projects to various Internet Explorer versions still out there. As a part of the company’s ongoing efforts, a refreshed arsenal of free Windows virtual images are available for download straight from Microsoft, completely free of charge. One of the free OS images offers a free virtual copy of Windows 8 complete with Internet Explorer 10 (IE10). But wait, there’s more. There are also free copies of Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP that are just sitting over at Modern.ie waiting for you to download them.

Microsoft is getting ready to start the conversation on what’s next for Windows, and various other products related to the operating system, at its upcoming Build conference. This can only mean one thing, the Redmond company will open up on Windows Blue. If I were to put money on it, I’d say that Microsoft will share a bit more than just information on the successor of Windows 8. Personally, I’m expecting some bits as the company will most likely increase the current testing pool of the OS. Fingers crossed.

Steve Guggenheimer, Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President and Chief Evangelist, Developer & Platform Evangelism:

“I’m pleased to announce and personally invite you to our next developer conference, Build 2013, which is taking place June 26-28, 2013 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. It’s been a while since our last developer event in the Bay Area, and we’re looking forward to a fantastic gathering. Save the date and mark your calendar for the opening of registration next week, at 9 a.m. PT on Tuesday, April 2 at www.buildwindows.com.

At Build, we’ll share updates and talk about what’s next for Windows, Windows Server, Windows Azure, Visual Studio and more. Build is the path to creating and implementing your great ideas, and then differentiating them in the market. Pay a visit to www.buildwindows.com, get yourself registered on April 2, and join us for three days of immersive presentations delivered by the engineers behind our products and services, while networking with thousands of other developers getting the first look at what’s next. We’ll look forward to seeing you at Moscone.”
