<p>In October of 2019, Microsoft revealed a future product that it didn’t plan on shipping until 2020 —<a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/10/02/microsoft-teases-dual-screen-surface-neo-notebook-surface-duo-phone-for-2020">the Surface Neo.</a> It consisted of a dual-screen notebook with an extra keyboard and stylus support. The devices were set to ship with Microsoft’s new branch of Windows called Windows 10X.</p>
<p>On Thursday, rumors surfaced that Microsoft’s Chief Product Officer Panos Panay had said the Surface Neo dual-screen Windows 10X devices wouldn’t ship in 2020. Microsoft intends Windows 10X as a new, modern form of Windows 10 designed from the ground-up for dual-screen device. Furthermore, it guts many of the older Windows 10 features in favor of increased security and a more streamlined experience.</p>
<p>Dual-screen devices with Windows 10X were slated to ship around the holiday season of 2020. Likely due to the ongoing <a href="https://appleinsider.com/inside/coronavirus">COVID-19</a> pandemic, Microsoft appears to have fallen behind in developing the Surface Neo and Windows 10X. </p>
<p>Microsoft has allegedly said they would not be allowing third-party dual-screen devices to ship with Windows 10X either, according to <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-dont-expect-any-windows-10x-devices-this-calendar-year/"><em>ZDNet.</em></a></p>
<p>In February, Microsoft had stated that <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/02/27/coronavirus-causing-massive-aapl-hit-microsoft-to-issue-earnings-warning">they were hit hardest</a> in their “More Personal Computing Segment,” a part of the company that deals with Windows licensing, accessories, all of Microsoft’s gaming initiatives, and <a href="https://appleinsider.com/topic/surface">Surface</a> hardware.</p>
<p>Microsoft has not as of yet commented on the report.</p>
