This outrageous attack on general purpose computing doesn't become less outrageous just because Google also does a similar attack.
> How is ChromeOS not a limited version of Gentoo that it's based on and locked to Google's cloud for "ease of use and deployment"?
I don't understand the statement regarding Chrome is advertised as a solution for certain people but is not a general purpose computer?
Windows 10 S has some very capable general purpose computers that are limited.
If you cover the whole market from thumbdrives to server farms, you're obviously going to make different versions to fit different usage scenarios. People do that with Linux, too.
Windows 10S is just a new version of Windows 10 Pro that addresses certain needs in the education market in particular.
If you don't want it, don't buy it. If you buy it and decide you don't like it, you can upgrade it to Windows 10 Pro. No big deal.
It's frankly insane to have hissy fits about it destroying civilization as we know it. It's not.
