'Chromebooks dominated the affordable laptop scene in 2018. The same wasn't true just a few years ago, when most were unclear what to do with Google's browser-based operating system. But now, after Chromebooks have successfully infiltrated the education market, users both young and old are familiar with Chrome OS.'
I was wondering why Microsoft weren’t fighting back against this encroachment into their market. Turns out they were trying to compete, with a product called “Windows 10 S”. Seems that effort has been just about abandoned, with “Windows 10 S” now being just a mode you can configure into regular Windows 10.
