Since Windows 10, Microsoft has repositioned launch its new operating system as a service, meaning that the platform will receive frequent and substantial updates throughout its lifecycle. When Microsoft made this announcement many thought immediately that the Redmond wanted to deploy Windows 10 in the form of subscription, with a philosophy of use similar to that of Office 365. But history he has shown, then another.
True to the philosophy of Windows 10 as a service, the Redmond would be planning something new, namely a new shell for the operating system that internally would adopt the name of "Cloud Shell" and is described, according to some final documents of the hands of the journalist Petri as "lightweight iteration of Windows designed for the modern computing world". A generic definition that, however, might suggest that the "Cloud Shell" is designed to be quite fuel efficient, all-The advantage of hardware systems not well suited.
Shell, remember, it is the visible part of the operating system with which users can interact. In other words, these user interface. This new Shell should debut in 2017 although it would not present a specific timeline.
But more interesting it is to understand where this will be implemented Shell much lighter than the present. The mind comes right back the past with some of Windows on ARM architecture-based devices that have not had, however, very successful. Possible, therefore, that the cloud Shell can be designed for the re-launch of the ARM platform of Windows 10. However, the Cloud Shell and the project for the C shell, emerged a few days ago, would not be related to each other.
Another very interesting thing, references to Windows Store and the UWP framework. Shell cloud, therefore, could be a really Shell "on the cloud" in order to function on the streaming devices. This would suggest to the products in Surface RT very simple style able to function connected to the network.
Details on the project are, however, fragmented. Surely if we know more appointment of Build 2017 to be held in May.
