Microsoft's goal is to create a walled garden. If not a literal one, than an implied one.

Already if you try to distrubte unisgned code for windows 10 your users will receive a HUGE screensize nag that's non-trivial to dismiss essentially making them feel like your software is going to destroy their computer if they run it.

This is an an effort to force developers to either pay microsoft to have the application signed or pay microsoft royalties for selling it as a windows platform app.

Either way the their endgame is to eliminate windows as an open platform.

Daily reminder that there are literally shills on Sup Forums that defend windows 10 and microsoft.

also say goodbye to your steam library

>play old games on vm win7
>move to linux
>steam moves to linux

Fixed it.

You have a free upgrade to WIndows 10 Pro if you have a Windows 10s.

Windows 10 S = ChromeOS from Google. If you don't like it, don't use it.

Valve can always make an UWP app for

No one is going to buy it.
Windows 10 S is just a meme.

let the shilling begin. no valve cant make uwp app because uwp apps cant install other software, not like it matter because ms will never allow stam on their store. also that upgrade from 10 S to pro is not free, its ~$50

Hey I'm looking for a job, how much does Microsoft pay you to shill?

>tfw downgraded to 7 ultimate
lost some nit too important data, but the sole fact i can pick my updates is enough, all I lost is DX12

Valve can make an UWP app. MS is porting Killer Instinct to Steam later this year.
Also Anyone can make an UWP app not just Valve actually.

People bought Chromebook and ChromeOS though. Windows 10S is just an anwer to that.

fuck off retard, bring someone more competent

if only bill gates was still alive

He is. He is the one who made "Age of Empire 4" happen after all www.businessinsider.fr/us/bill-gates-jokes-about-new-age-of-empires-from-microsoft-2017-6/

Windows 10 S is the replacement for Windows Starter Edition. It won't be used by anyone who does more than Surfing and Mailing anyways.

what the fuck is a "first line worker"?

Jamal and Jose. Restrict their access so they can't fuck up the company network by downloading porn.exe

...

Your dad

chrome os is not for business

>Valve can always make an UWP app for
And then, all those win32 games will magically be ported to UWP aswell?

>People bought Chromebook and ChromeOS
No they didn't.

i think win32 can be converted to uwp but microsoft will not kill win32 anytime soon relax lul

OK

Windows 10 S blocks installation of any apps downloaded from outside of the Store, including the classic Win32 apps and even UWP apps like Chrome OS do with Google Play Store and Google APPs. That doesn’t mean you won’t be able to use the classic desktops apps.
If you want to use a classic desktop app (aka Win32) that’s not available on the Windows Store? Just like most other SKUs of Windows 10, Windows 10 S is upgradeable, which means you will be able to upgrade it to Windows 10 Pro. This will give you access to some of the more powerful features and of course: the ability to install Win32 apps from anywhere.

I guess you're all just retarded

Are you familiar with the term "buzzword"?

You must be delusional. Chromebooks are really cheap and does 95% of what you need to do on a PC.

Steam literally will move to Linux. It already is.

How can someone fuck Microsoft up this bad? I mean, isn’t the openness and dominance of win32 why windows is still king?

Seriously I see myself jumping ship to ReactOS for the last windows needs I have, and keep using macs like I already do (altho Apple also is doing seriously horrible decisions atm)

Do they have SD slots? If they do, then I'd be down to buy one and just stick in a card

Hahaha tell me this is bait

Most Chromebooks also include USB ports and an SD or microSD card slot

...

You know when someone has nothing to say besides spouting memes like 'is dis bait?" that it's real.

>STEAM DRM shit
>relevant
Lel

>You have a free upgrade to WIndows 10 Pro if you have a Windows 10s.
Nope, it costs $200

Well those are all win32 apps. You think UWP doesn’t have DRM written into its DNA?

Google shills are just that desperate.

I actually took the time to research "firstline workers" a bit and it looks like it's a Microsoft-invented buzzword. There's no references to it earlier than MS's websites and press material. I guess it beats "locked down OS for your slaves"

No it will cost $50 but it's free right now.

What hell are you doing in Sup Forums if you don't even follow the news about the big company tech? (apple, google, microsoft etc.)

none of gog games will work either retard

>shills calling shills
Too obvious

That's nice
Too bad win32 compatibility will be removed with a mandatory update in some years because of (((security))) reasons

t. Applel shill

Close to nobody bought Chromebooks. More importantly, nobody outside of a few schools has been forced to use one. Windows 10S could easily become a standard way restrict corporate employees computer usage and that would be a bad thing. Then again, those people are probably forced to use Windows as of right now anyway.

>Close to nobody bought Chromebooks.
9,4 million sold

Nobody forced you to use Windows 10S. You can put Windows pro, Windows 7 or Linux on it if you want so.

I don't think their presence on GNU/Linux will save them. Steam is trying to sell their own "steam boxes" xbox-style consoles and those aren't exactly selling like hot-cakes. It's the Windows platform that gives them their gravy. I really don't like that Microsoft will very likely kill that off. The reason is that I'm a GNU/Linux user and Steam really is the main driver of games for that platform. Steam going bankrupt would therefore be .. bad.

>crying about gimped editions of Windows

Hahaha poor faggot. I bet you owned XP Home.

i own your mother

Do you even read, pajeet?

If your employer assigns you a desktop or a laptop with Windows 10S on it then you'll be stuck with it. The choice will probably be to keep your job or try to install another OS on it.

I never said anything about forcing me to use anything. I was forced to use Windows 98 for a while many years ago, though. That was on the computer where I worked at the time and that ran the one program I was using for my job. I'm fairly sure those who work at DHL's customs department as of today use whatever software that's on the boxes they use.

Nowadays everyone want its own steam. They want that 30% cut.
Ubisoft (Uplay), EA (Origin), microsoft (Microsoft store even they port their old game to steam years later), Activition Blizzard (Blizzard App? for the upcoming Destiny 2 for example), CD project (Gog) etc.
The point of Steam was to buy Valve games and they don't make any nowadays outside that card game shit.

>working for a shit employer

Your fault, snowflake

So your only argument is some speculations about business? Where does Windows 10 Entreprise fall in that argument, pajeet?

its more expensive, even few pesos make a difference when you have thousands of laptops in your company

> working

still can't read, eh? Yes, I used to work for such an employer back when Windows 98 was poplar. And that's what I wrote in the post you replied to.

>I don't work for an employer that forces me to use gimped software but I'm really angry about it specifically

Doesn't seem likely, user.

If your employer assigns hardware for a job, maybe do your fuckin job on it, instead of whinging about not being able to play your gaymes on it. It still belongs to that employer, and they should be the one deciding what gets installed on it, not the dingus they assigned it to.
