Will Windows customers prefer to use Windows apps over their traditional games and utilities? With Windows 10’s S mode, Microsoft is betting they will.
Microsoft expects that the “majority of customers” will enjoy Windows 10 in its new S mode, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of Windows wrote in a recent blog post.
The stunning endorsement of Windows 10’s S mode—which was formally confirmed as a mode of Windows 10 (go.pcworld.com/ w10m) only very recently—was made by Joe Belfiore, who told me (go.pcworld.com/ mhtw) via Twitter that he expected the transition to take place in 2019. Belfiore’s blog post set an even more aggressive timetable, claiming that customers would be able to buy a PC with Windows 10 S mode at or near the time when the next feature update to Windows 10 drops. That update, known as Redstone 4, is expected to appear on PCs in early April.
