This “Cloud PC” could compete with Chromebooks.<\/h3>\n<\/section>\n

According to reports, Microsoft is even more explicitly pushing its upcoming Windows 10X as a competitor for Chromebooks<\/span><\/span> and Chrome OS, retooling it to eliminate support for legacy code. Microsoft also plans a “Cloud PC” running apps from the cloud, they say. All this will have significant effects on Windows 10, which may slow its development cycle even more. <\/p>\n

Reports from ZDNet on the Windows roadmap rescheduling<\/a> and the cloud efforts<\/a>, as well as Windows Central’s own reporting<\/a> on both efforts, seem to support the conclusion we reached when the Surface Neo was delayed and dual-screen devices<\/span><\/span> were pushed out to 2021: that Windows 10X essentially is the new Windows 10 S<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft began showing off Windows 10X earlier this year<\/a>, and positioned it as a specific flavor of Windows 10 optimized for a new wave of dual-screen Windows 10 devices. But then the pandemic hit, and Microsoft began rethinking its plans. Now, Microsoft’s roadmap and positioning of Windows 10X versus Windows 10 and even Windows 10 S are becoming clearer.<\/p>\n
