HI All,
AS many of you may be aware, Microsoft had their largest educational event ever in NYC yesterday announcing, amongst other things, Windows 10 S and Intune for Education which will be of major interest to schools I should think.
I've collated most of the official blogs and videos into one single post that you can see here:

I wonder how long it will be before yet another chapter of the default browser saga gets played out in the European courts. LOL.
" Are there any defaults that I cannot change on my Windows 10 S PC?
Yes,
Microsoft Edge is the default web browser on Microsoft 10 S.
You are able to download another browser that might be
available from the Windows Store, but Microsoft Edge will
remain the default if, for example, you open an .htm file.
Additionally, the default search provider in Microsoft Edge
and Internet Explorer cannot be changed. "

How do you change the default browser on a chromebook?
I don't think there is any other browser available for a
Chromebook. Google doesn't release Chrome OS for any other
hardware platform either.
Windows 10 S is not limited to a particular hardware platform, in
fact it will be available for a wide range of hardware platforms.
Although there isn't a version of Chrome for UWP yet, Google did
produce a Chrome app for Windows 8.
Lots of these things are simply not going to happen in the Store
because the apps need APIs and stuff that cannot be put into apps,
there has already been a huge stink over Steam's gaming platforms
which is why Steam has been putting resources into Linux.
There's already developing situations where I would have advised
our customers to change from a Windows PC to a Mac because Apple
does actually care about professional users who have standalone
computers and who don't have to pay extra to buy a pro edition of
Windows to stop seeing the obnoxious design features that MS has
locked into the home edition of Windows.

Oh, but the school I work with now expects to dump their computer
suites and have Chromebooks for everything. They will find some
way they don't need full application installs on a desktop OS.

Goodness me did punch card readers exist for Apple ][ ?
The only one I remember seeing was on the university's PDP-11,
where we wrote our programs on coding forms and debugged them on
dumb terminals with primitive editing commands.
