One of the more irksome things about Windows 10 is the inconsistent setting=
s of windows and dialogs. Sometimes you uninstall a program in the new Sett=
ings app, sometimes in the antiquated Control Panel. That inconsistency goe=
s away in Windows 11...almost entirely. For some detailed controls, such as=
 sound devices, you still see the content in the old style, though the wind=
ow uses the new design.

Microsoft this week makes its pitch to a constituency that will go a long w=
ay toward determining the fate of the upcoming version of its flagship Wind=
ows software: developers. googletag.cmd.push(function()  googletag.display(=
'div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); ); Thousands of external developers, Microso=
ft says, will converge in San Francisco this week for the company's annual =
Build conference. The event, held Wednesday through Friday, is designed to =
give developers updates about the company's direction and help them craft p=
rograms for Microsoft's ecosystem of platforms. Developers who write the co=
de that makes programs from word-processing software and business-expense t=
ools helped make Windows the dominant computing platform for much of the pa=
st two decades. As Microsoft gets set to launch Windows 10 sometime this su=
mmer, however, the company faces a more complicated world. In addition to W=
indows, developers can build programs for the hundreds of millions of users=
 of Apple's phones, tablets and laptops, as well as those plugged in to Goo=
gle's ubiquitous free-to-use Android operating system. "The collective view=
, at least from investors, is that they are way behind," said Karl Keirstea=
d, a software analyst with Deutsche Bank. "Developers are not falling over =
themselves looking to build apps on Windows. They need to tell a very good =
story at Build to try to motivate them to do that." Microsoft is hampered b=
y its small slice of the global market for mobile devices. The smartphone-t=
ailored version of Windows powered less than 3 percent of the devices sold =
last year, according to researcher IDC. The company occupies a similarly sm=
all slice of the tablet market. Microsoft, which estimates that about 1.5 b=
illion people use Windows, thinks Windows 10 will help remedy that. The com=
pany has said that it will offer the vast majority of individual Windows us=
ers free upgrades to Windows 10, and keep the operating system current for =
the lifetime of the device. The goal is a virtuous cycle: Developers are mo=
tivated to reach the mass of people using Windows 10 across devices, and th=
e proliferation of must-have programs in turn draws users to Windows smartp=
hones and tablets. The company has said the operating system will smooth th=
e conversion of a desktop application to smartphone editions and the other =
way around. "What they're trying to do is get this one platform running eve=
rywhere, and give developers an app that they can write once and optimize f=
or other platforms," said Wes Miller, an analyst with Directions on Microso=
ft. Microsoft hasn't disclosed its roster of speakers for this week's event=
, but analysts expect to hear from senior executives such as Chief Executiv=
e Satya Nadella and Windows leader Terry Myerson. Nadella said during an ea=
rnings conference call last week that the company would share more details =
about Windows 10 and use of the company's Office productivity suite as a to=
ol for developers. In addition to Windows and Office, Microsoft also hopes =
to get developers hooked on the company's growing array of Web-based platfo=
rms. Microsoft is spending billions of dollars to build servers it rents to=
 businesses for everything from data storage to processing power that can a=
ct as the plumbing for Web-based applications and tasks. The company, which=
 had a reputation during its younger years for pushing users and developers=
 to its own platforms, has recently used its online offerings to showcase i=
ts more open side. Microsoft's Azure cloud infrastructure supports both Win=
dows Server and its open-source rival, Linux. Office 365 links with Microso=
ft's customer relationship software rival Salesforce.com, as well as data-s=
torage company Dropbox. "They're doing all the right things," Deutsche Bank=
's Keirstead said. "It's just that, at least from a mobile standpoint, they=
 have such a mountain to climb." 2015 The Seattle Times
