The previous version of this, Factory OS, ran all of the Win32 apps in a microVM (which was the planned functionality for Windows 10X), while UWP apps could run natively. I wonder if this does something similar or if that was dropped.
(I spent some time trying to figure out how the VM is created to see if something like that could be done in regular Windows, but much of it is undocumented. Being able to only run one Windows Sandbox at a time in regular Windows kills some of my workflows.)
- ntauthority 4y agoFactoryOS is from an entirely different set of compositions (composable core/WCOS, meant to reduce the amount of MobileCore-based SKUs) which was meant for a few new products (10X, HubOS, Andromeda) that never really shipped and got changed around and canceled numerous times. It is curious, however, as to why there is no WSK released for the 'Nickel' release of Windows (with build 22621 as final), and instead we got this image dropped instead. The VM was rather an image of a similar composition to this one (ContainerOS shares some component roots) running in the Host Compute Service which actually is properly documented nowadays after a while of only being partially documented in Docker for Windows code: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/api/hcs/overview https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/api/hcs/over...
