“#Microsoft reportedly shelves Windows 10X, its Chrome OS competitor<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Windows 10X, Microsoft\u2018s Chrome OS competitor that was announced in 2019 alongside the\u00a0Surface Neo, has app<\/a>arently been shelved, according to a report from Petri<\/a>. While it\u2019s not clear if Microsoft has completely<\/em> abandoned the project, it\u2019s not arriving this year and the \u201ccompany has shifted resources to Windows 10 and 10X is on the back burner,\u201d according to Petri\u2019s sources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft has a long and messy history of trying to make \u2018light\u2019 versions of Windows that are optimized for mobile devices.<\/p>\n

First was the awful Windows RT<\/a>, the Windows 8-era OS optimized for ARM processors, and then Windows 10 S tried to pare down Windows functionality to improve performance on low-power devices. Neither OS had much success, and both were quickly shelved. It appears Windows 10X is destined for the same fate, except it might never be available to users in the first place.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a good chance the pandemic and recent hardware advances reframed Microsoft\u2019s perspective. The company made a ton of money during the pandemic<\/a>, with revenue from Windows OEM growing by 10% \u2014 all this without the need for a \u2018light\u2019 Chrome OS competitor. Laptops processors are performing better than ever too, and even budget devices are more than useable with decent battery life.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t to say Windows can\u2019t use some improvements; the touchscreen experience still isn\u2019t anywhere near that of Android and iOS, so it\u2019s still best suited as an OS for the mouse and keyboard. Instead, it might make more sense to take some of the work put into Windows 10X and apply it to standard Windows 10, allowing the OS to adapt depending on the type of device it\u2019s being used on.<\/p>\n

The company is reportedly planning a major visual overhaul for Windows 10 at its Build conference<\/a> later this month, so there\u2019s a chance we\u2019ll hear more then. Hopefully the Surface Neo hasn\u2019t been shelved too; it\u2019s still one of the most exciting bits of PC hardware I\u2019ve seen in years.<\/p>\n
