    Microsoft is reportedly working on Windows Lite to take on Chrome OS


    A while ago, Microsoft launched Windows 10 in S Mode, a new SKU of Windows which is limited to the Microsoft Store. Windows 10 S was Microsoft’s another attempt to make Windows a lighter operating system. After Windows 10 S, the company is now reportedly working on Windows Lite.

    According to Petri, like Windows 10 S, this particular OS version will be a secure flavour of Windows 10 because it will run apps downloaded from the Microsoft Store.

    The name “Lite” was originally spotted in Windows 10 19H1 Insider builds and it is said to run UWPs and PWAs from the Store. Windows Lite will be pre-installed on select devices and it’s likely that this particular operating system won’t be for all consumers, enterprises or even small businesses.

    Windows Lite is based on the long rumoured Windows Core OS and it will strip even more legacy components from the OS to make it faster and lighter. Windows Lite will coexist with the current versions of Windows 10 and it will be suitable to run on different chipset architectures such as Snapdragon processor.

    As it’s based on Windows Core OS, the Lite will feature a different UI.

    The Windows Lite is another operating system from Microsoft and it will target the group of consumers interested in secure and light experience. There are people who’d use a Microsoft Store-limited Windows 10 version without any problem.

    Google Chrome and Chrome OS......

    I'm not saying it is better at all. That would be impossible it is not even implemented yet. You are right I would gladly leave Windows if Linux was a viable option for Gaming. But what Google chrome OS has is growth potential.
    I used to love windows...... but have recently become somewhat anti windows. Yes Microsoft has come up with some really great idea's. But now that they are so large they do take advantage of the situation.
    That is why I get so excited when anyone comes out with a new option. I wouldn't care if it was McDonald's that came out with and OS....... I would still be excited because there would be more competition. It might make Microsoft to be a little more consumer friendly.

    I never said that they would fall because of Google Chrome OS. What I was more meaning that they would fall because of their own accord. Example( Vista, Failure to listen to the customer, Internet explorer problems Exc....) I just stated that it would give a good chance for someone else to step up. And who better than a house hold name like Google.
    Like I said this is all just speculation and What if's ....... But if there were no what if's in the world then computer's in general would have never advanced in the first place. It takes someone with a creative Idea and thought to push forward things in the first place.
    And to hinder those thoughts are anti Constructive.

    Although I will agree that there are just some thoughts that shouldn't be brought up...... Like for example .......... What if Nvidia's Femi is 27 times more powerful than a 5870.

    At least my Idea has some logic behind it. And not just based on wild guess's


    Also A question about Chrome Browser........ I have an old AOL mail account back from the days of Dial up that I still use. I am wondering if anyone else here has one and uses Chrome. When I use Chrome occasionally to access that account......... It fails to render the sign in area. Just wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same problem with either AOL or just sign in's in general with it.

    Microsoft is reportedly working on Windows Lite to take on Chrome OS

    Google Chrome and Chrome OS......

    Chrome OS better than Linux yeah right. Don't believe the hype.

    Google Chrome browser is nothing special and find Seamonkey much better one.

    If only Linux worked with all games then windows would not see the light of day on any of my systems.
