Microsoft executive hints that a new version of the Microsoft Surface is coming soon

Microsoft executive Julie Larson-Green, Corporate VP for Windows, appeared at the Wired Business Conference on Tuesday and hinted that a new Microsoft Surface device will be introduced by the Redmond based firm within weeks. At the same time, the executive followed up on Monday's post on the company's blog that confirmed the existence of the Windows Blue update.

Green told those at the conference that a preview of the Windows Blue update will be released next month. She also said to expect hands-on testing of Windows 8.1 powered small screened devices to begin in June. The Microsoft executive stated that updates for Windows 8 will be available at various times during the year, and will improve things like device performance and battery life.
