Windows 11 set to launch in 2020?
They mentioned Windows 10 being the future as a service, but I wasn't sure where I heard that claim.
It seems likely it will be named Windows 20, following the patterns of Samsung and Nvidia. However, I really question that.
The upcoming Microsoft release beyond Windows 10X is Windows 10X, aimed at a distinct user base. It targets modern form factors like dual screens, foldables, and budget-friendly devices similar to Chromebooks. The operating system eliminates all legacy components, meaning it can't run traditional Win32 applications. To operate older programs, users must first launch a specialized environment that runs them within a tightly controlled sandbox for security reasons. Microsoft has confirmed these changes won’t support standard Windows 32-bit apps, and features like system tray icons won’t function. Expect longer startup times because of the extra setup, particularly on devices with weaker hardware like Chromebooks. The emphasis now shifts to PWA and UWP applications, removing older system requirements. If you need robust Win32 functionality regularly, a regular Windows 10 installation is recommended. As for the Surface Neo, it clearly highlights the delayed rollout, possibly due to timing issues with its new processor or other components.
