Ghost of Windows RT
The old idea were referring to is the Windows RT.
The idea was to have a version of Windows locked onto to only using apps from the Windows Store.
Windows RT however was more than just this.
It was also specifically designed to run on ARM processors rather than Intel & AMD processors that PCs used.
Thus making it a version designed specifically for tablets and lower range laptops.
The case for change
It is easy to make a case for Windows 10 S however.
The strongest point of Windows at times tends to be its biggest drawback.
In most American universities, youll find students using laptops just to take notes.
And it is in this scenario where Windows has lost the plot.
This is reported as the reason why Chromebooks have gained such a huge portion of the education segment.
Theyre fast, theyre cheap thus making them perfect for students.
This became evident with the statement Windows 10 S is Windows 10 inspired by students.
This shows a clear vision of Microsoft gunning for the education sector.
Learnt from past mistakes
As we mentioned earlier, the repackaging of RT comes with improvements.
Windows 10 S though locked down to Windows store apps is not limited to ARM hardware.
In addition, a user can unlock Windows 10 S to Windows 10 pro by paying a small fee.
This in itself makes it much better than Windows RT.
The option of the Pro edition of Windows 10 also makes this a lucrative purchase for students.
