Microsoft Needs Windows Lite

7 hours ago

Microsoft is experiencing a loss of builders (developers) who are switching to MacOS and Linux.
The main attractions keeping users on Windows are content creation and gaming, but even these areas are seeing a shift to Linux.
Without builders, software diminishes, leading to a loss of users, prompting the need for Windows Lite.
Windows Lite is a stripped-down version with no telemetry, spying, ads, AI, or .NET, focusing on win32 with a lightweight shell and graphics drivers.
It features monthly maintenance/security patches, with user control over automatic or manual application.
Windows Lite is targeted at gamers and developers as a stable, backwards-compatible platform.
The stability of win32 allows developers to create lightweight wrappers for better APIs, making Windows appealing for building again.
As gamers and developers adopt Windows Lite, ordinary users, universities, companies, and governments follow, purchasing licenses.
Over time, Windows Lite becomes the primary and only version of Windows, reducing development costs and increasing Microsoft's OS revenue.
Windows Lite is priced at $49 for a permanent license, with no subscription fees.
