Microsoft Is Not Launching 10x Operating System

Microsoft has confirmed that it is not going to release a lightweight and simplified Windows 10X operating system, which means the hope of users is getting towards an end. Built as an opponent to the Chrome OS, the 10X operating system was presumed to come along with new dual-screen devices like the Surface Neo before the pandemic hit the world, but now the news is validated that Microsoft is in no mood to launch 10X. “Alternately bringing a product called Windows 10X to market in 2021 like we originally signified, that we are leveraging learnings from our journey thus far and stimulating the alliance of key foundational 10X technology into other elements of Windows and products at the company,” stated John Cable, head of Windows servicing and delivery, in a blog post on Tuesday. Microsoft said that its teams proceed to invest in areas where the 10X technology will help meet its user needs as well as evaluate technology experiences both in software and hardware that will be useful to its customers in the future. “This shift in thinking is an incredible part of the company’s value of a growth mindset at business and represents our customer-first focus,” Cable said. Microsoft said that in the current conditions, people continue to rely on PCs furthermore. This statement majorly focusing on the pandemic situation, as people are working from home and PCs are better than a laptop for working in long hours as they don’t run on battery. “As per the decision taken, we are initially going to take a regulated and seeker-based approach for the rollout planned on May 2021 Update. With the throttling availability up over the upcoming weeks to make sure a reliable download experience for all, so the update may not be offered to you right away,” Cable informed. The May 2021 Update will be available originally to select devices running Windows 10, version 2004 or later, who are engrossed in experiencing the latest feature updates and are ready to install the release on their particular device. As a first half (H1) of the calendar year release, all versions of the May 2021 Update (version 21H1) will receive 18 months of servicing and support, beginning from Tuesday, the company said. Regardless of everything, Windows 10X, which implemented the ideas were not bad. There was more than one characteristic which we all would like to keep in their normal Windows 10. For example, a concentrated taskbar, really MacOS style, was very beautiful and useful. In addition, this system was a feature that allowed us to hide this taskbar automatically on the basis of the computer screen. What is Windows 10X, and why are people waiting eagerly for the launch? Windows 10x is a streamlined version of Windows 10, which is designed to run on the dual-screen foldable device. Devices like Microsoft announced Surface Neo and Surface Duo. Definitely, it can also run on third-party foldable devices from manufacturers like Dell, Acer, HP. You will not upgrade your present PC to Windows 10X, it will be preinstalled on the new foldable PC. What makes Windows 10S different from other “lite” versions of the OS, such as Windows 10S and Windows RT, is that it will support regular Win32 desktop programs. The RT and 10S versions were discontinued and supported only the web app or modern app from the Microsoft Store. Legacy apps will run in containers in a sandboxed environment from the rest of the system. This will improve system safety and battery life. Windows 10X will look like Windows 10 Edition on your PC where Search, Apps, Websites, and Files will get very easy access. And some new and fun features have also been given. Suppose if you are in Outlook Email, then clicking on Link, it will open itself on the other screen, but now after the release is canceled, we can expect these features in the upcoming versions Windows 10x and a fun feature is named after Wonderbar. It works in this way: Just keep the Bluetooth-connected keyboard on a screen, and Windows 10x will recognize it and shows you a smart bar in a part of the screen which is not covering the keyboard. Here you can see a YouTube Video in Picture-In-Picture Version, and you can also access Emoji and GIFs when you are replying to messages or chats. All these new and useful features are the reason behind the wait for the OS, now when the OS is not coming users are disappointed, Let’s see what next came from Windows in the future.
