I’m sure you’ve seen the news: Microsoft is delaying the release of Windows 10X---and the dual-screen Surface Neo---until 2021. The knee-jerk reaction is to blame the Coronavirus. But as Mary Jo Foley reports, Windows 10X has serious issues. Including the one I’ve raised since the beginning: Microsoft’s weird preoccupation with dual-screen devices was always a…

Microsoft has reportedly changed its plans for Windows 10X: it's now focusing on getting the new experience on existing single-screen devices, forcing the Surface Neo to be delayed till next year.

The new emulator is still horribly slow and incredibly buggy, making it impossible to accurately assess the system’s ability to run legacy desktop apps.

New versions of the Microsoft Emulator and the Windows 10X emulator image are now available, and you no longer have to be an Insider to use them.

With Windows 10X on the horizon, I’m wondering again whether Microsoft has solved the Chromebook problem. Does Windows 10X meet the needs of what we used to think of as an EdgeBook? As you may recall, when Windows 10X was still called Windows Lite, it was thought to be a purely web-based platform, one that…

Modern PC-based operating systems---Windows, macOS, and Chome OS---are all inherently similar in that they provide a desktop, icons for launching apps and opening documents, inter-app communications capabilities, and some form of integration with cloud-based services, especially storage. But it’s the little differences that can really catch you up. And if you followed along with my…

Andrew and Paul discuss Microsoft's Windows 10X revelations, dual-screen devices, Apple's coming iPhone 9, subscription service fatigue, and more.

On this episode of First Ring Daily, Windows 10X shows the way, Duo doesn't, and Samsung showed off new phones.

For years, Microsoft has been trying, unsuccessfully, to find a way to modernize Windows and the apps that run on it. Previous attempts---like Windows RT, Windows 10 S/S Mode, and Windows 10 on ARM have failed, and for the same basic reason: Customers rejected something that looked identical to “real” Windows but couldn’t run all…

Microsoft reveals new Win32 container in Windows 10X, says OS updates will take less than 90 second restarts.

Microsoft is releasing the new Windows 10X emulator today, showing developers how they can start building apps for dual-screen devices. It's also showing off some Windows 10X features.

On this episode of First Ring Daily, Paul gets mauled by his cat, Windows 10X is moving around, and so are other items in the Microsoft family.

As we reported, Windows 10X will come to normal PC form factors, and it will run desktop applications in containers.

A new leak confirms that Windows 10X will look like Chrome OS and is coming to laptops and other traditional PC form factors.

During the confusing series of leaks leading up to today's Microsoft event, we came to understand, and then question, and then truly understand what exactly Windows 10X is. It's what we used to call Windows Lite or Lite OS. Meaning that Microsoft isn't making a direct Chromebook competitor but is instead moving forward with a…

Microsoft has a new version of Windows 10 built specifically for next generation PCs. Say hello to Windows 10X.
