Windows 10 Cloud is a new version of Windows 10 that first appeared on one of the latest builds released for Insiders.
Η Microsoft δεν έχει δώσει προς το παρόν κάποια επίσημη ενημέρωση για το Windows 10 Cloud, αλλά οι φήμες δίνουν και παίρνουν. Έτσι ακούσαμε ότι το “νέο” λειτουργικό σύστημα θα βασίζεται στο σύννεφο, και ότι θα είναι μια νέα συνδρομητική έκδοση των Windows που θα μοιάζει με το Office365.
As mentioned earlier, Microsoft is currently keeping silent fish, but according to ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley, Windows 10 Cloud is what Windows RT was in earlier versions of Windows.
It also states that Windows 10 Cloud will be able to run only Unified applications on the Windows platform.
According to the above, and if the new system works as Windows RT was running when Windows 8 was running, it would only support applications from the Windows Store.
The situation hasn't changed that much, but it might be a little better, with the upcoming Windows 10 Cloud. The main reason is that Microsoft has developer options and Companies software developers to turn traditional Win32 programs into Unified Windows Platform applications.
This means that by devoting some extra time to development the applications can be converted into single ones.
Of course it is name cloud or Cloud is a bit confusing. It's clear that Microsoft wouldn't want to revive what happened after RT was released in Windows 10, which failed miserably once again, and gained a bad reputation due to the limitations of the operating system.
Cloud, according to Mary Jo's sources, refers to Microsoft aiming to become a "cloud first" company. However, Cloud can also be a simple code name and the new version of the product may be released under a different name when it is finally released.
We could perhaps say, that this particular version of Windows is an attempt by Microsoft to compete with it Google with Chrome OS and Chromebooks. These devices use the Cloud for the most part.
So Windows 10 Cloud could feed low cost devices just like Windows RT. Microsoft's marketing mistake was that it had not stated more clearly that Windows RT was a limited version of Windows that was not able to run traditional apps but only the Windows Store apps.
Microsoft could release Windows 10 Cloud with the Creators Update next April, although the fact that it has not officially announced anything to date could be a sign that they will be released at a later date.
