In recent days we have been met with speculation that Microsoft works for free or ultra-cheap alternative for Windows 8 and will distribute it under the name Windows 365. Similarity to the name of the subscription set Office is not random, the system should be closely connected with cloudom and if users are offline, then they will only be able to use the most basic functions. Unlike Office however, it will be Windows 365 na cloude practically addicted. If you happened to remember the concept while reading this article Chrome OS has Chromebookov, then you are by no means alone.

Windows 365 should work on a similar principle, which means that OEM manufacturers will be able to produce even cheaper computers with Windows, which will have basic hardware that is sufficient for working with documents, the Internet or playing less demanding games. Computer manufacturers today have trouble making cheap computers with Windows, as the OEM license is quite expensive and increases the price of the device by several tens of dollars. Windows But 365 should solve these problems, since producers will only pay minismall fees, which will ultimately allow them to produce an 11.6-in ultrabook with a price of around €200. Of course, there will be compromises to be reckoned with; since it is Windows 365 cloudov, users can only find a 32 GB SSD drive in their computer. The remaining space will be available on cloude, where manufacturers can provide their users with 100 or 200 GB of prepaid storage.

In the end, the question remains how the manufacturers will behave in terms of the length of the subscription. Because manufacturers will want to maintain a regular profit from this segment, users will get free space for one or two years. Personally, I lean towards both variantom. Due to the different warranty conditions in the US and Europe, it is very realistic that 365 computers in the US will only have one year of prepaid storage, while in Europe they would have it prepaid for two years, until the warranty expires. After the warranty ends, people will have to buy a new laptop or subscribe for storage OneDrive on the official site. It is not a very high investment, Microsoft charges €100 for 37 GB of storage and €200 per year for 74 GB of storage. However, as is the case these days, people would rather buy a new, tangible device than pay for something they can't actually touch.

Understandably, as one of the main reasons for the release Windows 365 states Chrome OS. And there is no need to be surprised. In 2013, they acquired Chromebooky up to 10% market share, which is mainly attributed to unpopularity Windows 8 because of its modern environment. That's what he wants Microsoft understandably correct and rightly so Windows 365 built on the basis of Windows Core. Since the system won't be released until sometime next year, it will be built on the basics Windows 8.1 Update 2 or Windows 8.2, which returns mini-Start similar to what we could see in older versions Windowsu. Mini-Start should be an optional feature that will only be available on computers without a touch screen. If we put all these facts together and consider that cheap laptops with Windows they won't have a touch screen, we get a definition of why it gives Windows 365 sense. It's a system designed for the masses who want a new laptop at a low price, but don't want to have "tiles" on the screen. It is therefore quite understandable thatancand that you Microsoft he will take back the 10% that Google took from him. Of course, it's also about marketing, and if CEO Satya Nadella lets the system do some good advertising, it will increase the popularity of the new, simple platform even more.

But when the software giant chooses this direction Microsoft, we can expect something similar from Apple? We will probably get an answer to that in a few years.
