MICROSOFT IS working on a ‘Lite’ version of its Windows operating system aimed at dual-screen and its own “cloud book” devices – those aimed at rivalling Google’s Chromebooks.
The Verge reports that the stripped down OS, known internally as ‘Windows Lite’, is being aimed first of all at dual-screen devices, a form factor that Microsoft is very keen on its OEMs trying.
Intel has also been pushing the new category of devices, with some success, but those early models are likely to have full-on Windows 10, with Windows Lite slated for nearer the end of the year.
