Microsoft’s Mike Ybarra retweeted the tweet and added “BIG news!” It’s unclear what this news could be but possibilities include adding support for 4K video streaming, a partnership with a game studio or technology company, an official app for Windows phones, or even some new monetization option for streamers to help it compete with Twitch.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
