Windows 10x leak reveals another attempt at taking on Chrome OS

I'm a big fan of recent microsoft open source developments but this is just plain awful.

I like the concept of revamping the UI and shedding some of the win32 legacy weight but this seems like it will be completely unusable for any sort of power user. A Onedrive first filesystem seems like a nightmare.

Don't think I'm the target audience here but I really hope none of this ever makes it into regular Windows.

That's a great features in the education market. School issued devices have a limited lifespan. So being able to restore a user's account on a different device easily is great.

Windows Phone ran smoothly on really underpowered hardware. But it dropped a lot of legacy components. For (corporate) users that use a web browser and office apps 100% of the time that means great battery life.
