Whatever happened to Continuum?

[Prometheus2021]

Hey Dan!

Is Continuum ever gonna be developed any further?
Will we see it somewhere down the line, or can we considered it one of the many projects with great potential abandoned by Microsoft?

I imagine it'll be part of the whole 'windows core' bid eventually. There was/is a lot of code work in separating the UI shell and form factor from the core code. But who knows how long it'll be before we see any examples of it. The first machine running windows core is the new Hub (not the released version, but the upcoming version). And windows lite isn't being announced yet either.

So being we haven't actually seen any devices running windows core yet, it's probably years before we see a mobile device that can shift between shells. Which is disappointing given the folding tablet project they have (unless they still plan to surprise us with that, it seems to be set back).
