The interface of Windows 10 Cloud can be similar to Windows 10 - screenshots

Just a few days after the announcement that Microsoft plans to release an operating system that can compete with Chrome OS, the first screenshots appeared on the network, which are supposed to show a new operating system. It is reported that Windows 10 Cloud will become a lite version of the main operating system Microsoft. "Cloud" Windows, probably, will be oriented to use in inexpensive computers for education and business.

Looking at these screenshots of Windows Blog Italia , it immediately gives the impression that there are no noticeable differences between the yet unrepresented Cloud operating system and the existing standard version of Windows 10.

The ZDNet resource is additionally informed that Windows 10 Cloud will allow to run only universal applications (Universal) from the Windows Store. This means that there is no need to make visual changes to its interface.

The name of the operating system indicates that it is a cloud operating system. But, according to reports, it will be about something like Windows RT or Windows 8.1 with Bing. About a simpler and cheaper version of the operating system that could attract those users who are looking towards the computers of the Chromebook.

It seems that there will not be a lot of "cloudiness" in it. Perhaps, the name is determined by the priority of cloud computing ("cloud first") for the software giant? Maybe it's just an indication that the new operating system will be an alternative to Chrome OS? Or is Microsoft going to base its new operating system on machine learning and Cortana?

Currently, Microsoft has not reported any details on this topic, so there is no certainty that something from the one shown and written on the web about the new OS corresponds to reality. In order to try to get an idea of ​​what the software giant could cook for users this time, it is necessary to recall the recent history of those Windows operating systems that may be similar to Windows 10 Cloud.

The revision of Windows 8.1 with Bing was pre-installed on the devices by vendors and was not available for purchase by consumers. In it, Bing was installed as the default search tool. In this case, users could install and another search engine as the main one. PC manufacturers have received from Microsoft this version of Windows 8.1 or for free, or at a significantly reduced price.

Windows RT - version of Windows 10, which was operated by Surface RT, Surface 2, as well as a number of Windows PCs based on ARM, tablets and other devices from third-party vendors. It was possible to install on it only applications that were created specifically for RT, that is, not all Universal applications for Windows. These applications were only available in the Windows Store.

To date, it remains unknown when Microsoft plans to release Windows 10 Cloud, but given that there are screenshots showing the full interface of the operating system, we can assume that the "cloud" version of the most popular PC platform can be seen in April 2017 simultaneously with update Creators Update for Windows 10.

What OS of an inexpensive computer, if there is a choice, will users prefer Chrome OS or a "light" version of the familiar Windows 10?
