Last year, Build was all about the unveiling of a completely "re-imagined" Windows. The venue was the Anaheim, CA Convention Center, and the keynotes were in its arena. We were shown the erstwhile-named Metro user interface, we were taught about the Windows Runtime (WinRT) APIs, and we pondered the first-ever touch-centric version of desktop Windows. The event was run by the Windows team, and was presided over by Windows Division president Steven Sinofsky (so much so, one rumor says, that he even selected the attendee snacks).
