Το Windows 10X είναι μια new edition of Windows 10 που έχει σχεδιαστεί για συσκευές διπλής οθόνης όπως το επερχόμενο Surface Neo της Microsoft, το οποίο θα είναι διαθέσιμο από το 2020. Το “νέο” λειτουργικό θα διαθέτει ένα προσαρμοσμένο UI για αυτές τις συσκευές.
Windows 10X is Windows
At the Surface event, Microsoft said that Windows 10X will “support Windows apps,” meaning that all traditional apps graphics των Windows θα λειτουργούν όπως ακριβώς και στα Windows 10 Home ή Professional. Δεν είναι ένα εντελώς νέο operating system, but a customized version of Windows 10 with a UI designed for foldable devices.
Microsoft told The Verge that Windows 10X will run traditional Windows desktop applications in a container to improve battery life. Windows 10X seems to be based on Windows Core OS.
Optimized for dual-screen devices
Windows 10X has a UI "designed and optimized for dual-screen devices, such as the Surface Neo," according to Microsoft.
Surface Neo is a dual-screen device that opens like a laptop. Alternatively, it's like two tablets connected together by a joint.
There will be no Live Tiles
Part of optimizing the operating system for dual-screen devices seems to be removing Live Tiles. There is a new Start menu with simple icons.
Dual-Screen Tweaks
When you start an application, it will start on one side of the device. It's a bit like the Windows 10 Snap feature - apps will open on one screen (or on one side of the device) and not on both screens. You can drag the application window in the middle of the screen to display it on both screens. Microsoft says that this will not only enlarge the application window on both screens, but will also "optimize" the application interface so that the application can intelligently exploit both screens.
Windowws 10X and dual-screen devices are not currently available. Microsoft will release Windows 10X before the release of the Surface Neo, so developers will have time to try it out and optimize their applications for the new OS.
Microsoft posted on blog one article for the upcoming Windows 10X, but didn't mention many technical details.
