Microsoft reportedly working on Google Chrome OS competitor called ‘Windows Lite’
One of the most widely-used PC operating systems in the world, Microsoft Windows, might soon be getting a ‘Lite’ version. The OS version that is being tipped as ‘Windows Lite’ is said to be made for dual-screen and Chromebook-like devices, as per The Verge report. The upcoming OS version is said to be the stripped-out version of the original OS instead of a completely new OS.
Although there is no confirmation from Microsoft on this, the report says that the upcoming OS could launch as early as this year. However, much of it depends on when the OEMs and chipmakers are ready for it.
The new OS version, design-wise could be similar to the Windows that one uses at today’s date. But it will be somewhat a mix of how Microsoft uses its Surface Hub with multiple screens along with Windows Phone Continuum interface.
