ORLANDO — Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said Windows has been re-architected to give it a central role in the Internet of Things. He sees the company’s upcoming operating system Windows 10 as integral in managing every aspect of the IoT, from the sensors, mechanical systems, to the applications and analytics that underlie it.

Appearing at Gartner’s Symposium/ITxpo conference on Tuesday, Nadella described Windows 10 as the first step in an entirely new generation of Windows “as opposed to ‘it’s just another release after Windows 8.’ “

Nadella, appointed Microsoft’s CEO early this year, said Windows is not just about tablets, phones and PCs, but is also a platform that can “in fact run across a lot of places where general purpose compute is going to be important.”
