Microsoft ditches Windows 10 S in favour of a new S Mode

I don't see the problem with this for someone who buys say a Surface Laptop with S as the default. I only see an issue for someone with Pro S.

But this is clearly just to promote Windows Store adoption in order to make the whole thing better. There's nothing wrong with that, and I'd love a viable third option to Google and Apple.

Only problem is MS likes to shit on their customers by abandoning their consumer products, so...yeah. I forget my point.

This sounds to me like M$ preying on those that are not tech savvy enough to get themselves out of S Mode.  Not familiar enough with PC's? Welcome to our store and our store only sucker.

 

Edit:  Also if you want to promote the Windows Store make it less of a pain in the ass.

What would such a non-tech-saavy person be looking to install that they couldn't use the Store for, though? If they're not tech-saavy, what do they need? 

Also, the Windows Store is constantly being updated. I think they're trying to make it less of a pain in the ass, cause they know it sucks.
