Microsoft intends to name Windows Lite as "Santorini"

Apparently Microsoft has chosen the name Santorini as name for Windows Lite, a OS that is supposed to be lightweight and is meant to compete with Google's Chrome OS.

According to one report from WindowsCentral, Microsoft officials are reporting that Windows Lite will be called Santorini (yes, after the Greek island of Santorini). It is not yet known if the name Santorini will be the one used by for the final product.

The name Santorini was given by Microsoft employees because Lite does not represent the product as it is not a smaller version of Windows. It is a completely new OS designed for lightweight computer systems. Most likely the final product is not even called Windows.

In fact, Windows Lite is aimed specifically at new devices that do not require fully equipped Windows, as in the case of Andromeda, Microsoft's ambitious dual-screen design that has not yet seen the light of day.

It is not clear if Santorini is in any way representative of Windows Lite, but since it is an island name, there is a possibility that Microsoft did not take it just because it is auspicious.

Recent rumors claimed that Microsoft could also use Windows Lite for certain features, which will then reach all versions of Windows 10, such as a simplified Start menu without tiles, etc. According to reports, Microsoft is planning to abandon tiles due to their low acceptance, so the debut of Windows Lite will could ultimately be a preview of other major changes for Windows 10 overall.
