00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:07.200
so we've already had two major updates to Windows 10 keeping with Microsoft's

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.040
promise that Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows but that doesn't

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:17.840
mean they can't get a little creative about it they just unveiled Windows

00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:19.680
10s but wait a minute what does s mean a

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:27.000
Microsoft executive has said it stands for secure Superior streamlined and soul

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:32.200
well I guess they decided to channel Vince McMahon when he told us the X in

00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:36.000
XFL stood for things like exciting but I wonder if maybe they should have got the

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:41.440
Harry S Truman rout instead and said the S doesn't really stand for anything well

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:46.920
marketing Misadventures aside what Windows 10s actually is is the diet coke

00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:51.239
of desktop operating systems a strip down version of Windows 10 designed for

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:55.160
cheaper PCS that might compete with lowcost gadgets like Chromebooks which

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:59.280
you can learn more about right up here but what exactly has been stripped from

00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:03.600
Windows 10s well the biggest change you'll notice is a complete inability to

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:07.200
install anything that isn't an app from the official Windows store making the

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:12.000
platform much more like a non- jailbroken iPhone or iPad and while this

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:15.720
seems like just a huge blow to the flexibility of the computer for no

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:20.720
reason that's right you can't run the useful exe you found on that web page

00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:25.360
somewhere Microsoft is tting this as a security feature since trusted apps from

00:01:23.479 --> 00:01:29.159
the Windows store are verified by Microsoft to be free from malware and

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.560
less likely to have bugs that could slow down or crash your system and this also

00:01:31.479 --> 00:01:39.320
means you can't run browsers other than Edge on Windows 10s which Microsoft

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:41.439
again claims is more secure and we're

00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:46.320
not going to touch the veracity of that claim but since you can install non-

00:01:44.119 --> 00:01:49.439
Chrome browsers on a Chromebook you might be feeling left a little

00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:53.680
disappointed if that's what you're used to to be clear though we don't think

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:58.479
this is just a corporate conspiracy to get people to finally start using Bing

00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:03.159
if all you need is a machine to update social media watch video and make Skype

00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:08.399
calls computers with Windows 10s pre-installed will start at less than

00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:15.040
$200 and unlike the complete disaster that was Windows RT Windows 10s runs on

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:17.080
full fat x86 64 processors so using the

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:21.480
new OS doesn't necessarily mean you'll have to compromise on performance and

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:26.640
while Microsoft hasn't yet confirmed that these devices will be SSD only they

00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:30.480
claim they'll start up within 15 seconds and it seems likely anyway given that

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:34.560
solid state storage is standard for Chromebooks the generally low price

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.080
points and the more restricted nature of the operating system means that

00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:42.360
Microsoft is really marketing Windows 10s heavily to organizations like

00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:46.200
schools who may want to buy laptops or tablets and bulk for students but don't

00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:51.159
want them installing God knows what thing they found on 4chan or any gaming

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:54.680
platforms like steam or origin neither of which are offered in the Windows

00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:58.879
store so this means that Windows 10s is a bit of a strange mishmash of

00:02:56.519 --> 00:03:02.440
philosophies on the one hand is hobble by the Limited number of of programs you

00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:06.400
can install but on the other it has advanced features like domain support

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:10.400
Remote Management and bit Locker Drive encryption so that it administrators

00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:14.480
have more control over devices that are floating around in backpacks or

00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:17.680
briefcases all over campus but Microsoft thinks they have the solution they're

00:03:16.239 --> 00:03:22.159
trying to solve both sides of the chicken and egg Problem by making the

00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:25.480
devices cheap for bulk purchases and making it easier for developers who

00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:30.560
haven't ported their applications over to the Windows store to do so good thing

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:35.400
too because limited apps is a huge part of what sunk Windows phone not too long

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:39.200
ago so is Microsoft on to something here do you think that Windows 10s is a

00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:43.519
sensible alternative if you just need a machine for a few specific tasks but

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:47.360
still want a respectable amount of power and you don't want to use Chrome OS or

00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:51.519
is it just another futile attempt by Microsoft to beat us over the head with

00:03:49.239 --> 00:03:56.040
a Windows store now sound off down below in the comments along with what you

00:03:53.079 --> 00:04:00.360
