    Love how they barely try to do something and then kill it immediately

    How is Windows 11 SE considered a competitor to Chrome OS? I haven’t heard of Windows 11 SE before just now and, from what I’ve read, it seems like it’s intended for a completely different purpose. It just looks like a stripped down version of Windows 11 that can’t run most applications and is intended for educational use, meanwhile Chrome OS wasn’t made for a specific purpose and is designed for general use.

        Given MS’s track record, W12 may actually be good.

    From what I can tell, Windows SE is the education version of Windows S-mode, which always sucked. Had a few run-ins with it on family computers and it was always a giant pain in the ass just to get basic programs running.
