More rumors about Lite: the probable new Microsoft operating system returns to the scene with a name change

o long ago we referred to Lite (for now we will use this name), the new operating system that Microsoft could be developing for promote the new batch of devices that in theory would be cooking in the ovens of the American company.

An operating system that, hand in hand with Microsoft, would have the difficult task of competing with Chrome OS as a lightweight and versatile operating system focused on areas in which Windows 10 is too heavy and therefore not as interesting as the operating system model for Google computers.Lite was the name of a development that could now have a new code name.

Using lite can be misleading

Nothing about Lite or Windows Lite, and it's just that how they advance in Windows Central, rumors suggest that now they would have changed the name it uses for another much more evocative how It is Santorini, the touristic Greek island in the Mediterranean adorned with white houses and blue roofs.

"

The reason they would have made such a decision is to unlink the image we get when we use the term _lite_. If we think about it a bit, _lite_ is usually related to lower potential or lower capacity. We see it in phones, in the case of the Huawei P 20 Lite or in applications (Facebook Lite is a good example) that carry the tag _lite_ to notify that it is a version that has been cut down in terms of functions."

Therefore, thinking about something _lite_ may confuse the user, or that is what they would have valued and to prevent the user from thinking on a lesser operating system, they would have raised the naming change.

You have to remember that Microsoft would be developing Lite, now Santorini, with in mind thinking of two types of devices that for now have the Code name for Centaurus and Pegasus. But for now there is no more information about it.

The first stop to clear up doubts will be on February 24 in Barcelona, ​​a setting where HoloLens will almost certainly be the protagonists. If there is no news about the new Microsoft developments we will have to wait for the next //Build 2019, the event for Microsoft developers, where we should attend more information related to these news.
