The stripped-down version of Windows 7 had faded from memory long before its official demise.
Microsoft is finally retiring its Windows Thin PC product on October 12,2021, after almost a decade in service. Launched in 2011, Microsoft introduced Windows Thin PC to help customers repurpose their existing, but under-powered PCs as thin clients, giving users a cost-effective alternative to virtual desktop infrastructure ( VDI). While Windows Thin PC was well-received on launch, over time however, it faded from the limelight, with the availability of more useful, and feature-rich alternatives, along with the evaporating cost-disadvantages of VDI.
