It's also interesting because of the recently announced Windows 10 S, that will come in new PCs later this year. In this new version of Windows, you can only run applications from the Windows 10 store, so having The Sims Mobile there would be the only The Sims these people would be able to play period.

Ew, what? ONLY? What about programs that are not from the Store?

You won't be able to install them. Windows 10S isn't their new mainstream operating system, it's kind of like ChromeOS. It's a reduced version of Windows 10 built specifically for low end laptops. Outside of the field of education, this isn't a product you would realistically buy for personal use.

I wouldn't even recommend it for education. Education should stick to Windows 10 Pro. That my opinion.

It's a cheaper alternative ideal for younger students who dont necessarily need advanced features and capabilities of the full OS, or performance intensive hardware.

I see them commonly with elementary students, where it can be a vital asset in developing skills such as spelling, reading, and coordination (probably more as well). Older students get iPads instead here.

Still disagree on that. Windows 10 pro can run on tablets for the same price. There not real big difference between Windows 10 S and Windows 10 home/Pro. They all have the same features. I know a guy that used to work for Microsoft. His software is still being used by the Microsoft Windows team. He would say the same thing as me. The only difference is that Windows 10S is locked down and Windows 10 home/pro isn't. I have used a lot of Windows in my time. All Microsoft does takes the old version like Windows 8 and builds upon it. That how they design each Windows product.
