受新冠肺炎影响，微软明年7月之前的活动全部数字化

以下是Windows研发部门Ginny Caughey的说法：

In light of the challenges presented by Covid-19, Microsoft has been closely monitoring the developing global situation and re-assessing the overall company-wide in-person event strategy. As a company, Microsoft has made the decision to transition all external and internal events to digital-first experiences through July 2021. This will include the future MVP & RD Summit which is currently scheduled for March 28-April 2, 2021. We will continue to evaluate the situation and look forward to connecting in person when the situation allows.

根据最新的统计数据，目前海外新冠肺炎疫情累计确诊人数已经达到1263245人，较昨日新增67357人，其中美国新增确诊29536人，西班牙和法国新增确诊都在5000例以上；现有确诊995313人，较昨日新增56641人；累计死亡71237人，累计治愈196695人。

从目前的形式来看，别说科技大会了，今年还没有举办的各种类型的大会应该都不用指望能够有线下活动了。
