I was looking at a $179 Windows 10 laptop with 4 GB of RAM and a lower end AMD chipset, and Windows 10 in "S Mode".
You can take it out of S Mode, but about half the customers didn't know that and were complaining that the computer was "Not compatible with Adobe this or that." or something else, and that Edge was "frustratingly slow", even to start up.
I went "Oh yeah, they're going to get a lot of bad word of mouth over this one and eventually they won't even be able to sell them at $179 because the Chromebook runs all of this stuff, is the same price, and isn't "painfully slow".
I mean, I read down the reviews for maybe 5 seconds and I was like "Even if I knew nothing about computers, just "It doesn't run my apps, even web apps say come back in a browser I can't install, and it's painfully slow." would be enough to make me skip it and look at the Chromebooks.
How long does Microsoft really think they can keep up a charade that their bloated warmed over 90s OS is competitive? It obviously doesn't run any better for keeping Win32 apps locked out of the system. It just seems to be pissing people off.
