And be safer
Microsoft is working on a new version of Windows that will be a modular and customizable version of the OS. The project is called CorePC and is designed to support various form factors.
This is not the first attempt to create a modular OS. Previously, there was Windows Core OS, which also appeared under the name Windows 10X. This system was supposed to be an updated OS without deprecated features and with support for UWP applications. However, she was never released.
As for CorePC, its main feature will be the separation of the system itself, user data and other files. In the current version of Windows, all of this information resides on a single system partition, while CorePC will support multiple partitions. This will speed up system updates, speed up resets, and improve security by making critical sections read-only. A similar approach is used in iPadOS and Android.
Microsoft is working on a new modular version of Windows with AI.
Also CorePC will allow Microsoft to make Windows a full-fledged competitor to Chrome OS in terms of size, performance and capabilities.
In addition, a version of the OS, codenamed Neon, is expected within CorePC, which maintains compatibility with legacy applications. Looks like it’s about win32 programs. Finally, a version without backwards compatibility is expected, but with built-in AI and optimization for hardware. This is similar to MacOS with M-series processors. This will allow you to create laptops and PCs that are just as fast and energy efficient.
Of course, these are only plans so far, although, perhaps, development is already underway in the bowels of the company. In any case, the release is still far away, and the situation may change more than once.
