Recently, Microsoft introduced a new operating system, Windows 10X. According to the developer, it is based on the regular 'ten,' but differs significantly from it. The new OS will eliminate the classic Start menu and introduce several other changes.
However, the main innovation will be the merging of desktop and mobile OS scenarios. Although it remains unclear what exactly this definition entails, it is evident that the company is launching a new project aimed at becoming an alternative to Android and iOS.
The company also announced that it is looking for a senior software engineer to work with developers. This person's task will be to implement innovations on any device running Windows, including desktops and servers.
Interestingly, Microsoft also mentioned a device called Modern PC as one of the supported products, but the company did not share any information about it. Perhaps this is a new version of the Surface Duo/Neo or a foldable solution with a flexible screen.
It is expected that Windows 10X will be released during the holidays at the beginning of 2020 and will be available for both dual-screen solutions and . This also indicates that the system is designed for x86-64 processors and, evidently, Win32 applications.
Overall, the future OS is expected to be a true hybrid of desktop and mobile elements. The main concern is that Redmond improves its quality control in testing. Otherwise, as a result of updates, not only desktops but also smartphones may become unusable. In this case, a single mistake could leave people without communication, work, and so forth.
