You talk of Windows 10 Cloud, the release of Microsoft's operating system, currently under development, of which there are a growing number of details. The weekend just ended, a Windows 10 Cloud build was released on the net, offering in more detail chance to analyze it.
The Windows 10 Cloud interface does not differ from that of the other versions of Windows 10, but the main difference is in the management of applications: W10 Cloud is only compatible (with a part of) the app downloaded from the Store. No desktop app, then. A feature that gives substance to the above description of the release of Windows 10, presented as a potential heir to Windows RT.
Specifically, at least in the current build, Windows 10 Cloud is not able to perform app Project Centennial, or app Win32 converted into Universal Windows App. Given that this is a build in the development phase, it is said that such a characteristic will be repeated in the final version of the OS. Windows 8 apps, on the contrary, are fully functional, like the Edge of browser extensions.
Other differences from the full version of Windows 10 concern the lack of integration of Onedrive in File Explorer - so who is interested in using the Microsoft cloud service will have to resort to the Universal App - and the inability to execute PowerShell script - in which case the '' Run with PowerShell "option suggests that this functionality could be integrated into a later build.
Another interesting detail that, if confirmed, would mark a major difference between Windows 10 Cloud and the previous Windows RT, coincides with the ability to upgrade to the full version of Windows 10 Pro, (but it is said that the choice will not be wider, up to include other versions of Windows 10).
There are still several aspects of Windows 10 Cloud to be revealed: for example, it is unclear what type of devices has been developed to build just described and what features will be exploited, specifically, on machines based on Intel and ARM chipsets. Waiting to know more details about it, there are those who assume that Windows 10 Cloud can be freely distributed to OEMs, - a bit 'as happened with Windows 8.1 with Bing - adding to the initial gratuity already hinted at the possibility of buying a full license Windows 10 granted to the end user.
