It isn’t everyday that one of the biggest tech companies in the world talks about having a surprise in store. And when it does, people are bound to notice. If you have been active on social media recently, you would know that the company we’re talking about here is Microsoft.
SurveyThe tech giant, on Wednesday morning, shared that something big is coming soon. That’s not all, it also dropped a hint that users’ “hands and fingers will get some rest.” Now is the announcement about gesture control, voice navigation, or something entirely new? We will have to wait to find out.

Microsoft’s new announcement
The announcement was made on Microsoft’s official X handle. The post said, “Your hands are about to get some PTO. Time to rest those fingers…something big is coming Thursday.”
As soon as the tweet was shared, it caught attention and currently has over a lakh views. Microsoft also responded to some comments in a cheeky way. When one user shared a GIF depicting suspicion, the tech giant replied, “loading suspense.” Another user wrote, “I like my keyboard though” to which Microsoft responded that they keyboards won’t be “harmed.”
What could it all mean?
The announcement of something new brewing comes right after Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 officially. This means that Windows 10 users will have to bid adieu to security patches, updates and fixes. While we aren’t sure if ending of Windows 10 support has some connection to the new announcement, the possibility can’t be ruled out entirely.
Talking of what the announcement could have in store, tech watchers are already parsing possible signals. Could Microsoft push harder into hands-free computing -More voice commands, better eye tracking, or motion sensing via cameras? Or could it take a leap into AR interfaces or AI assistants tightly woven into Windows itself.
No matter what it is, we will find out soon. Thursday’s announcement may not only define Microsoft’s OS direction for the next decade, but could also hint at how computing itself might evolve: more natural, more intuitive, less reliant on keyboards and mice.
