The firm is expected to unveil new consumer and mobile Windows features at the event.



From Hexus:

The tech world is usually rather engrossed by the goings on at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in early January. Microsoft is said to be planning a standalone event later on in the month for its Consumer Preview premiere, far enough from the boundaries and distractions of the busy trade show. If the sources are reliable, the firm looks to be on track with the previously promised "early 2015" date for a discussion on consumer features and a Consumer Preview release of Windows 10 for those too wary of the Technical Preview.
