Microsoft has already stated several times that Windows 10 will be the last full-fledged operating system from its stable, and instead of creating a new one, it will simply focus on constantly improving the existing one. So far, the company is managing to fulfill its promises, at least judging by the recently released prototype Windows 10X, a special version that offers a more intuitive and minia more minimalistic user interface on devices with dual displays or flexible tablets and laptops. It didn't take long for one of the clever developers to also install the system on MacBook.

If you follow the latest happenings around Microsoftu, surely you didn't miss the special "variety" of the system Windows with the number 10X. This is mainly aimed at devices that have two screens and thanks to the streamlined and simplified form of the legendary Windows 10 will make multitasking on similar laptops and tablets much easier. So far, only a test version and an emulator have been made available to developers, but even so, only a few days have passed since the release and one of the programmers managed to install the system on MacBook. Just extract the disk image and via an external portable disk or USB Windows 10X to install. Developer imbushuo also boasted a video on Twitter where he demonstrates everything, including switching between "two" screens. Since the apple laptop does not have two displays, it simply split the main screen in half. Thanks to this, individual applications can be launched simultaneously, similar to having two monitors.

One way or another, the system on a similar device loses its practicality and it is more of a demonstration of how it would be Windows 10X on MacBooku looked. Switching between applications and the ability to split the screen in half sounds like a nice and useful feature, but in practice, working on a 12-inch display is quite sad. Developer Steve Troughton-Smith also tried a similar trick, who, on the other hand, installed the system on a Surface Go laptop from MicrosoftWe will see if the new version of the system proves successful. What is certain is that testing will continue for several more months and Windows The 10X won't see the light of day until later this year.
