Windows 10: MS Working on "Lean" version of Windows 10

Maybe my dream is coming true.

Surur at MSPowerUser.com reports on a recent finding from Twitter that reveals a new, stripped-down version of Windows 10 appeared in Skippy Build 17650.

Enter on keypad " no. + # "

petrib is correct. It is a shortcut to SIM numbers.

Numbers on your SIM might not be in the position you think. Just because they appear sorted in alphabetical order in the contacts list doesn't mean that they appear in that same order on the SIM. On the SIM they appear in the order in which you input them,
unless you delete a number in which case the next one entered takes its place.

 

Enter on keypad " no. + # "

Hello guys :smileyhappy:

There's something make me crazy :s
When I click a certain number on keypad on any NOKIA mobile
Then click the symbol " # ", then a number of
a contact "in my contact list" will be appeared.
Is there anyone know how is that???
I feel curious toward this puzzle :smileyvery-happy:
OK., if anyone know about this topic, please tell me :smileysad:
Anyway thanks :smileywink:

 

Interesting find! I sure hope they will create a cutdown version that would run the Windows desktop on devices like Raspberry Pi and similar. Windows IoT is not what most users want.

Thanks for sharing this.

 

Yes, interesting find. "Learn Lean"? Hmm? One ponders what that ultimately means or alludes too?
*Ditto To something other than IoT for Raspberry Pi's etc.

EDIT: Only just released its Lean not Learn, *Redface *Doh I think somebody snuck me a decaf. That's me story and I'm sticking to it.

 

The news coverage is focusing on something along the lines of "Windows for minimal USER devices" right now. As far as I can tell that means minimal devices that can still run Windows 10 AND a display, keyboard, and mouse. It will be interesting to see how this plays out -- and if it sticks around -- for sure.

Odd, there are 2 post #1. Ed and Toni. I've cleared and all that stuff.

 

Indeed!

Should be absolutely no issues getting the basic stuff like the window manager and all IO devices working properly. They have after all, already completed the ARM core.

Now it's just up to the team to come up with something that is usable. If they lock the OS down by only enabling Store apps and no native (win32-style) apps, then that will be a big turn off for most tinkerers. I really hope they do this one right from start.
