Microsoft working on a CorePC concept

Microsoft is once again working on the project "CorePC,” said to be a modern take on the Windows platform. The aim of this project is to modularise and enhance the customisation options of the operating system, enabling it to operate on a wide range of form factors. The core idea of the project is to make the OS modular and more customizable so that it can run on different form factors without making legacy components mandatory for all. For example, form factors that do not require support for native compatibility for legacy Win32 applications will not have it.

 

In the past, there were reports about "Project Midori," an alleged modular replacement for Windows built from the ground up. CorePC is “state separated,” meaning it will be installed into multiple partitions, like Android and iPadOS. This will enable faster OS updates. The fact that it will be “state separated” will also ensure a more reliable system.

 

If it is materialized, CorePC will finally allow Windows OEMs to make PCs that compete with Chromebook. It will be possible to make PCs that only run Edge, web apps, Android apps, and Office apps. The software giant is also said to be working on a compatibility layer codenamed “Neon” to enable support for legacy apps.

 

As per reports, another version of “CorePC” will be “silicon-optimized” and will have AI capabilities. It will be capable of analyzing content on display and providing you suggestions on what you can do next. However, in order for some of the AI features to function, dedicated hardware is needed. Sources say the company is aiming to make it ready for primetime in 2024.
