Microsoft’s press release website revealed by mistake that the next BUILD developer conference would be held in San Francisco in April, hinting that a major launch is coming.

Just like it did earlier this year at the same event, Microsoft is expected to present some Windows goodies, this time in the form of a large update aimed at both desktops and tablets.

Word is that Microsoft is preparing a major rollout for Windows 8.1 called Spring GDR update and the upcoming BUILD developer conference seems to be the perfect timing for users to get it.

Of course, Redmond doesn’t wish to comment on future projects, but according to people familiar with the matter, another Windows update is already in the works, with a potential 2015 launch currently on the table. Codenamed Windows Threshold, the future update could even bring back the Start Menu.
