A great in-depth look at what’s coming with Windows 10X. This was the most interesting part (but I still recommend reading the whole thing):
“Windows 10X will launch this spring first for commercial markets. Commercial markets include education and enterprise industries looking for sub-$600 PCs for students in the classroom or first line workers. Windows 10X won’t be launching on consumer PCs in 2021, meaning you won’t find it on a flagship Dell or HP device. It’s also only for clamshell PCs, with foldables, tablets, and other form factor support coming in 2022 and beyond.”
“Windows 10X will launch without an in-box Mail and Calendar app. It’s been removed from the first version of Windows 10X because the platform is aimed at commercial markets who will likely use Outlook Web or stream Outlook via Windows Virtual Desktop. Users can opt to reinstall the Mail and Calendar apps from the Microsoft Store if they wish.”
“Windows 10X for mainstream markets won’t happen until 2022, when Win32 app support among other features come to the OS as part of the Windows 10 “Nickel” release scheduled for the first half of 2022.“

<p>Interesting read… can't say with the screenshots there I'd be a fan of the "Files" app: it looks a bit simplistic, very "website-version-of-OneDrive" UI.</p><p><br></p><p>And as for the "it'll support Win32 apps at a later date, running in their own containers", great, but how about also releasing a 64-bit version of the current Windows 10 that does-away with 32-bit app/dll support? Ditching that would mean the "Program Files (x86)" folder and "SysWOW64" folders could go, saving around 1.45GB of install-size.</p>
