Microsoft cannot lose the education market to Chrome OS and iOS, but Windows 10 itself isn't enough to compete in this industry anymore. Of course, Windows Lite is also very likely going to be a massive player in Microsoft's education strategy, which has also seen Chrome OS thunder-in at full power.
iPad has been doing this from the beginning. Chrome OS is slowly gaining market share, as audiences come to realize that a lightweight platform is all they need. This is the use case for a large percentage of PC users. They need to write an essay in a word processing app, listen to music through their favorite music-streaming service, and chat with friends on any number of social networks. Not everyone needs a platform with decades of legacy support. Light computing is a device and OS experience that's designed to get out the way and cater to the very basic needs of most people using a laptop or tablet.
Microsoft is going straight for that market, which I like to call the "light computing" market. Same for the people buying Chrome OS devices. It's for the same people who are looking at the iPad with iOS and thinking Yeah, I can do what I need to do with something like that. Forget Windows 10 S, Microsoft needs a true 'lite' version of Windowsīack to our initial question, who is Windows Lite for? Simply put, it's for people who don't need full Windows devices.
