I wasn't expecting to write about Windows 10 S again this quickly, but a confluence of events necessitates a follow-up. Yesterday, I wrote about my efforts to restore the Surface Laptop back to Windows 10 S and then upgrade it to the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview build so I could examine how the coming…

Microsoft's Office suite is now available to all Windows 10 users from the Microsoft Store. Even for non-Windows 10 S users.

Windows 10 S has consistently disappointed. But I keep trying, and in evaluating the latest version, I have some new questions.

Nothing. Like Microsoft, I noted this change in a post about Surface Laptop availability. And it's easy, given Microsoft's tendency…
