Latest information showed that Microsoft's Windows Core OS plan has not been cut.
Microsoft's annual developer conference, Build 2020, is scheduled to be held in May, and Windows Latest said that there are new news to reconfirm the Microsoft Windows Core OS (WCOS) plan.
Microsoft hasn't talked publicly about Windows Core OS, but information about the platform, such as strings in preview versions and supporting documentation, has been exposed.
Those familiar with the company's plans revealed that Microsoft has defined Windows Core OS as a modular platform and is the software foundation for Windows in various forms and sizes of devices in the future.
Microsoft wants to adapt Windows Core OS for all devices, from dual-screen devices to platforms such as PCs, Xboxes and even mixed reality devices.
Previous reports indicate that Windows Core OS will include multiple types of interface styles, such as UIs for dual-screen devices, Surface Hub, and HoloLens.
Jobs on LinkedIn show that Microsoft is developing "innovative technologies" based on Windows Core OS for mixed reality devices.
Microsoft said that the primary indicator of Windows Core OS is to develop high-quality code with no degradation in performance.
It is worth noting that a GameCore test game based on Windows Core OS was recently discovered in the Microsoft Store.
According to the report, GameCore will allow developers to build games that can run anywhere, including Windows and Xbox.
Microsoft has not yet mandated developers to use GameCore for its Xbox games, but GameCore is still a good choice for game developers who want to adapt to Windows 10 faster.
In other words, GameCore allows developers to more easily take advantage of Microsoft's gaming technology on Xbox and PC without the need for additional work. It may also have advanced features, including retrofits, tools, and debugging options.
Finally, although Windows Core OS cannot completely replace Windows 10, it may still be the future of Windows.
