From what I can tell, Windows SE is the education version of Windows S-mode, which always sucked. Had a few run-ins with it on family computers and it was always a giant pain in the ass just to get basic programs running.

How is Windows 11 SE considered a competitor to Chrome OS? I haven’t heard of Windows 11 SE before just now and, from what I’ve read, it seems like it’s intended for a completely different purpose. It just looks like a stripped down version of Windows 11 that can’t run most applications and is intended for educational use, meanwhile Chrome OS wasn’t made for a specific purpose and is designed for general use.

Because they start it for cynical reasons instead of actually trying to give something good to the consumer, so it fails and they can’t understand why…
Maybe people just don’t want this “thin client” inspired cloud shit that gives Microsoft or Google control of your data.
As the article mention, Chromebooks are also in decline, and good riddance!
It’s funny how Netbooks showed that Linux is a viable solution for small Arm devices, and works way better than Windows for it. But no vendor is making this for Arm, despite obvious advantages.
It may be a niche market initially, but so were smartphones before the iPhone and before they were called smartphones. And today smartphones are the biggest market in devices for consumer computing.
Netbooks were enjoying similar success, until they became loaded with the inferior Windows OS, that made them worse to actually use.

Sounds like this is not the same as S mode but only related to it based on the article. I hope Microsoft kill the cancer that is S mode.

Never heard of it.
used se for something, just for utilities like ghost. had dos box i think
I got excited at “Microsoft is killing off Windows 11-“
“…and introducing windows 12” oh god fucking dammit!
Given MS’s track record, W12 may actually be good.

Competitor implies the same popularity
TIL Windows 11 SE existed.
Hahaha, same here. No wonder they’re killing it.
Love how they barely try to do something and then kill it immediately
