Sounds great, right?
I use Edge at work and honestly it's faster than Chrome, doesn't eat RAM like crazy the only minus is lack of extensions support. If I'm to believe different sites, it's also optimized so much a battery doesn't need much juice for it.
The problem? Rumors.
Apparently, Win10 S is not open (PC) OS. It's yet another closed black box and allows users only to download apps directly from Windows Store, other sources are disallowed.
It feels like another iteration od Xbox OS, it's not windows at all.
If upper is true, I can only call it windows 10 bullshit version. Can't even understand this "strategy" of competing with chromebook or macbook, it's basically same shit new wrapping where the only actual difference is the store it uses (microsoft's instead of google or apple store).
Microsoft is taking to the stage in New York City later today to host its hardware and software event. While the Redmond software maker has used the city to launch new Surface devices, today’s event will focus on slightly different things. Microsoft’s May 2nd event is expected to bring attention to the rumored Windows 10 S (aka Windows 10 Cloud), a new operating system from the company. Along with Windows 10 Cloud, the company is also expected to launch at least one new device that will be powered by Windows 10 Cloud and is built to compete against Google’s Chromebook.

Windows 10 Cloud – or Windows 10 S – is a lightweight version of Windows 10, offering better security and more performance. Microsoft has designed this watered-down version of Windows 10 to get into the education market and compete against Google’s Chromebooks.
