Sounds like this is not the same as S mode but only related to it based on the article. I hope Microsoft kill the cancer that is S mode.

Love how they barely try to do something and then kill it immediately

Maybe people just don’t want this “thin client” inspired cloud shit that gives Microsoft or Google control of your data.
As the article mention, Chromebooks are also in decline, and good riddance!

It’s funny how Netbooks showed that Linux is a viable solution for small Arm devices, and works way better than Windows for it. But no vendor is making this for Arm, despite obvious advantages.

It may be a niche market initially, but so were smartphones before the iPhone and before they were called smartphones. And today smartphones are the biggest market in devices for consumer computing.

Netbooks were enjoying similar success, until they became loaded with the inferior Windows OS, that made them worse to actually use.

TIL Windows 11 SE existed.

“Competitor”

This word you keep using. I do not think it means what you think it means, lol

That was a thing?

I got excited at “Microsoft is killing off Windows 11-“

How is Windows 11 SE considered a competitor to Chrome OS? I haven’t heard of Windows 11 SE before just now and, from what I’ve read, it seems like it’s intended for a completely different purpose. It just looks like a stripped down version of Windows 11 that can’t run most applications and is intended for educational use, meanwhile Chrome OS wasn’t made for a specific purpose and is designed for general use.

From what I can tell, Windows SE is the education version of Windows S-mode, which always sucked. Had a few run-ins with it on family computers and it was always a giant pain in the ass just to get basic programs running.

Competitor implies the same popularity

Never heard of it.
