Microsoft refused to release a special version of Windows. This is reported in the blog on the company’s website.
The American IT giant does not intend to produce a lightweight version of its operating system. The fact that Windows 10X is buried, said John Cable, vice-president of John Cable. “After a one-year study and communication with customers, we realized that 10x developments can be useful in many ways and will allow you to serve more customers than we were originally believed,” said Cable. However, at the moment, Microsoft do not see the need to embody these developments in the form of a separate product.
John Cable noted that most of the already inherent on 10X features have already embodied in the beta version of Windows 10 and is available for familiarization. The company does not want to share the users of the classic Windows and the special version of the OS into two parts. At the same time, the statement does not say that Microsoft finally terminates the development of a special version of the operating system – it is probably the idea of the release of a separate product may return later.
According to the top manager of the company, the decision made demonstrates the productivity of Microsoft engineers and reflects the orientation on customer needs.
According to rumors, during the development of 10x Microsoft, the product positioning has repeatedly changed. First of all, OS was focused on computers with two screens, then the company decided to release a full-fledged Chrome OS competitor and create a simplified operating system for low-performance PCs.
Microsoft plans to abandon the release of Windows 10X has become known in mid-May. In particular, a blogger Zak Bouden’s informed with the plans of the Corporation said that the development of the OS was covered in February.
