Lite: this could be the new Microsoft operating system designed for the new batch of devices
Windows Lite returns to the scene We are talking about a possible version of Windows that the American company would be working on. A version that, as its name indicates, would be lighter and less heavy than the versions of Windows that we have known to date. A new rumor that adds to those we have already seen in recent months."
Windows Lite would follow the premises that we have already seen put into practice, for example, in the segment of smartphones, where there are lite (light) applications that offer less size by removing some functions.Specifications highly valued by people who use phones with too tight power and storage capacity. And in the case of a lighter Windows it would be ideal for less powerful computers and even for tablets and convertibles
This is the opinion of the well-known analyst Brad Sams, who speaks of the operating system with the name Lite, without having the associated word Windows A version that would be intended for less powerful computers and that suggests a more or less clear objective: to fight with the laptops and convertibles that Chrome OS brings to life."
The research carried out speaks of Lite and not of Windows Lite, a name that may change as development progresses by Microsoft. An information that is completed with a hitherto unknown data. Microsoft would be developing Lite with the mind thought of two types of devices that for now have the code name of Centaurus and Pegasus.
Apparently the Centaurus devices are dual-screen devices while those codenamed, Pegasus, would refer to a new line of laptops that could offer different configurations. In fact, in the report he talks about the possibility of offering instant start-up and a lightness that would make it possible to run on almost any CPU.
There is even reference to the possibility of having instant updates or the limitation of using UWP and PWA type applications. It is to be expected that it would also offer a high battery life with these features.
Microsoft would have, according to this theory, advanced both the field of software and the field of hardware in which to apply Lite. An operating system that apparently would not come to replace Windows, but to complete it on a very specific type of device for which the current versions of the operating system may be something heavy.
For now however, all this information is limited to rumors and leaks, as there is no official confirmation about the work that Microsoft could be running on a new operating system or on new devices.
We have no choice but to wait for Microsoft to offer some official information on the matter or for some guarantee leak to occur. Microsoft has not confirmed the development of any new operating system, but if rumors and speculation are to be believed, more details could be shared in a couple of days. of months. We could be seeing Lite launch in late 2019 on a number of new devices. Be that as it may, we will have the first stop in May, at the Microsoft Build and perhaps at that time we will have some more news. See something at the MWC in Barcelona? For now it is almost ruled out.
