Tucked away in the last SDK for Windows 10 there is a reference to an edition of Microsoft's operating system so far does not even suspect the existence: Windows 10 Cloud.
According to indiscretions gathered as soon as the news spread has run, it is a special version of Windows in which you can install only apps downloaded from the Windows Store.
Who some years ago he had made acquaintance with Windows RT will probably jumped on the chair: it was not just that limit to declare the failure of that version?
Windows RT was not in fact simply a version of Windows 8 will work with ARM processors: it was also limited to the installation of the Windows Store app only written according to the Universal Platform Windows paradigm.
However, given that Windows users expect to be able to also use all their favorite Win32 applications, here is that Windows RT has been forced to eclipse.
Now, apparently, Microsoft tries again, but do not necessarily have to think that it was seized with madness: most likely, the Redmond giant is preparing to enter into direct competition with the Chromebook, which basically adopt the same principle.
A simpler version, armored and maybe even cheaper Windows 10 may have its own market, especially among those who already do not disdain the Chromebook (and Chrome OS), which are precisely designed to be simple and armored vehicles (as all ' "cheap," depends very much on the model).
The hypothesis has been advanced by several observers of the Microsoft world, and seems to have its own logic. Less clear is the decision to use the Cloud wording for such an initiative, unless the future does not reveal some features of this version of Windows 10 heavily dependent on Microsoft servers.
In addition, nowadays the Windows Store is a bit 'changed the days of Windows 8: now also allows the distribution of Win32 applications, but written according to certain rules (not as restrictive as for app UWP, but they should still provide installation and a clean uninstall). This could prevent Windows 10 Cloud fate of Windows RT.
