2018: Failure from development
At the beginning of February, 2018 it became known of closing of the project of the Windows 10 S operating system which, as envisioned by Microsoft, had to become the competitor of Chrome OS. The company decided to make of this computer software platform only function.
Within update of Redstone 4 for Windows 10 which will be released in the spring of 2018 Microsoft changes policy of promotion of Windows 10 S. This OS will stop being the separate edition and will act as a specific mode of operating systems of Windows.
The mode which received the name S Mode is intended for blocking of downloadings of applications from other sources, except official magazinamicrosoft to Store. Thus, function will work like Windows 10 S.
The Thurrott edition, referring to classified documents of Microsoft, provides statistics characterizing rather high interest in Windows 10 S. 60% of users of this operating system preferred to remain on it instead of free transition to the version of Windows 10 Pro. At the same time among those who performed such migration 60% made it at 24 o'clock after purchase, and of those who did not go for updating within a week, 83% remained on the version of Windows 10 S.
According to Thurrott, the Microsoft company will give to users of Windows 10 Home the chance of free shutdown of the S Mode mode while for users of Windows 10 Pro with S Mode shutdown of this mode will be paid — the cost of transition to the full version of Windows 10 Pro will be for them $49.
Observers of The Verge consider such strategy of Microsoft risky as the company and its partner PC makers need to try that users did not get confused in versions and the OS modes.
Use of S Mode assumes presence of the wired programs providing cyber security of computers. At the same time it is not specified whether there is a speech about programs from the Microsoft Store directory or third-party products.[1]
