Linux is the next future servers arm..already in Japan, and soon by the end of 2028 UK all big servers will run arm linux
So, linux is becoming more important than the rest...windows 10S is almost bye bye, windows10X is dead...windows RT, we know...
So..since the new CEO at microsoft its clear the future will be only Linux based and macOS based
have a nice day, i guess is complicated to understand what i mean, but its ok...is for the rest of tech out there

    I need budget windows tablets. Please make Windows 10X especially designed for budget tablets and 2 in 1 with the ability to download apps from outside the Windows Store. Team up with OEMs and launch tablets powered by Windows 10X requiring low resources.. These days the Windows tablet market is dead because of fewer choices available for the consumers. It could give boost to the tablet market mostly because of e learning and work from home culture. Microsoft isn't taking good decisions these days. Shame..

            "Linux/Ubuntu still not user friendly enough, and don't seem to care about it either, supporting only tech savvy users, a very small minority base."

                JohnNy L, 19 May 2021Have you heard of Mac OS or Google OS, if you want somethin... more1. Mac OS is only available with exclusive and also expensive mac hardware, not something you can install on any PC.
                2. Google OS is far from a complete OS, can't run without the internet and not enough optimised 3rd party software.
                3. Linux/Ubuntu still not user friendly enough, and don't seem to care about it either, supporting only tech savvy users, a very small minority base.

                All 3 OS above also has bad gaming support, a big con for mainstream users

                Windows while still the most dominant, has too much bloatware, major security issues and holes that cannot be fixed because needs to keep supporting legacy versions, is seriously lagging behind to adapt and optimise.

                Theres still a huge gap and opportunity for a new player in the market.

                        Man, I don't wanna laugh at Microsoft, but I am kinda glad they avoided it because frankly who the heck would buy a windows lite Os that can't support main windows software?

                        If anything the UI they showed up seems neat, which is something Microsoft has often not been keen on keeping.

                          A company should attempt to make a brand new complete operating system to compete with Windows.

                            Does this mean that the Surface Neo is canceled too? It looked really cool

                              Just add this windows x as a mode you can enable/disable

                                    Sadly no head to head competition to Windows, making them not really working on the higher pace. If only MacOS installable on non-apple products (legally), the story maybe different.

                                    On the other hand, Linux distro is not profit oriented, do have some consequences.

                                      Wasted opportunity by Microsoft, if they could take out Chromebooks with this and have deals with schools.

                                        GC, 19 May 2021Honestly, can Microsoft do anything right?! 🤣Billions of computers using Windows OS indicate that they can.
