Well Chrome could rewrite to use the approved rederer - probably not. What&#x27;s worse is Windows 10 S will be locked to only Windows Store Apps. That&#x27;s why Apple just announced iTunes for Windows heading to the Windows Store.<p>If you want to use arbitrary software you&#x27;ll need to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro at which point Microsoft will disavow any warranty as to the performance and reliability.<p>Nice.
