  <p>I would love to get my hands on this to test it on an older HP NetBook. </p>

  <p>PWA's seem to make so much sense on this device. Microsoft and Google need to figure out how to teach the general public these apps exist.</p>

  <p>When one right-clicks on the Chrome OS desktop, the options include autohiding the Shelf (launcher-taskbar-tray) and changing its position (bottom, top, left, right). Presumably this means the Windows 10X taskbar can't autohide and can only be at the bottom of the screen. FWLIW, my Chrome OS Shelf is on the left, so this would be a con for me.</p>

  The only taskbar option is size: Small, medium (default), and large.

  <p>Is it likely, like when we got our hands on Windows 8 Developer Preview, that not all the features are baked in yet (right-click options, no desktop icons)? Or as you say, this is to compete with ChromeOS and match its functionality?</p><p><br></p><p>If so, I really do hope they don't call this a version of Windows..</p>
