An old version of Windows Core OS has leaked to the internet. This is an ARM32 based build with code version “Polaris". Windows Core OS was designed as a universal base for Windows that could be used to combine specific ones functions one devices.
This allows Microsoft to assemble all the puzzle pieces for a new device instead of creating a new version of Windows 10 specifically for it.
The "Polaris” so it was a desktop shell for Windows Core OS. It was intended to provide a familiar look to the default Windows shell, but built with modern technologies.
The image below is the screenshot of the Polaris OS running the actual desktop shell.
Polaris was created specifically for Windows Core OS running on computers. There was also the Andromeda shell for mobile devices and a mixed reality shell, the Oasis.
Microsoft canceled both Polaris and Andromeda in 2018. These projects were replaced by Windows 10X.
Ο κώδικας που διέρρευσε είναι μια έκδοση ARM32 του Polaris, στο build 16299. Δυστυχώς, αυτή η έκδοση του Polaris δεν διαθέτει κάποιο λειτουργικό shell. Μόλις το εκκινήσετε, θα δείτε ένα UI placeholder με ένα λογότυπο των Windows διαφορετικού Colour.
