Microsoft is killing its failed ChromeOS competitor, Windows 11 SE

Microsoft is discontinuing Windows 11 SE, its lightweight operating system designed to compete with ChromeOS in the education market. The platform, which launched in 2021, failed to gain significant traction against Google's dominant ChromeOS.
Editor’s Note: This move highlights Microsoft's struggle to break into the education sector, where Chromebooks and ChromeOS have become the go-to for schools due to their affordability and simplicity. For users invested in Windows 11 SE, this means an eventual shift to other Microsoft products or competing platforms. It’s another example of how hard it is to challenge Google’s stronghold in education tech.
