Linux is too powerful for Windows 10 S, so Microsoft just blocked it

3171

Microsoft is actively blocking the “ command-line” apps that run outside the safe environment of Windows 10 S, informed Microsoft senior program manager Rich Turner.

Windows 10 S is explicitly created for students and mainstream users who do not want to mess around the Windows 10 experience. The Windows 10 S only runs apps that have got vetted by Microsoft and appears in the Store. Though Microsoft didn’ t explicitly accept any speculation at that point of time, those apps didn’ t run on a lower level PC.

Turner said, " Windows 10 S has been deliberately constrained to prevent just these types of apps and tasks from running!" They behave like command line tools and run outside in a UWP sandbox and in a secure runtime infrastructure.

Not only Linux, other low-level apps also won’ t run in Windows 10 S. Fortunately there is a solution, the Windows 10 S contains a built-in upgrade path to Windows 10 Pro. So the user needs to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. If Windows 10 S does in fact take off in the classroom. It could be hard to encourage kids to code, and then hack, without giving them access to low-level functions.

Frequently asked questions ( 5 )

Q

How do I find my Windows product key?

A

The product key is located inside the product packaging, on the receipt or confirmation page for a digital purchase or in a confirmation e-mail that shows you purchased Windows. If you purchased a digital copy from Microsoft Store, you can locate your product key in your Account under Digital Content.

Q

Will SQL Server on Linux work on other platforms?

A

SQL Server is tested and supported on Linux for the previously listed distributions. Other Linux distributions are closely related and might be able to run SQL Server (for example, CentOS is closely related to Red Hat Enterprise Server). But if you choose to install SQL Server on an unsupported operating system, please review the Support policy section of the Technical support policy for Microsoft SQL Server to understand the support implications. Also note that some community-maintained Linux distributions do not have a formal way to receive support if the underlying operating system is the problem.

Q

How does licensing work on Linux?

A

SQL Server is licensed the same way for both Windows and Linux. In fact, you license SQL Server and then you can choose to use that license on the platform of your choice. For more information, see How to license SQL Server.

Q

How can I access my virtual machine?

A

Establish a remote connection to log on to the virtual machine, using Secure Shell (SSH). See the instructions on how to connect from Windows or from Linux and Mac. By default, SSH allows a maximum of 10 concurrent connections. You can increase this number by editing the configuration file.

Q

Why am I not seeing Canada Central and Canada East regions through Azure Resource Manager?

A

The two new regions of Canada Central and Canada East are not automatically registered for virtual machine creation for existing Azure subscriptions. This registration is done automatically when a virtual machine is deployed through the Azure portal to any other region using Azure Resource Manager. After a virtual machine is deployed to any other Azure region, the new regions should be available for subsequent virtual machines.
