It's all still highly speculative and confusing. A user named Lucas (Twitter- name @tfwboredom) stumbled in Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17650 (Redstone 5, Skip Ahead) upon a new SKU.
Welcome to Windows 10 Lean/CloudE/S (once again?)
This new edition started shipping with this week's Skip Ahead build (17650)
It seems to be heavily cut down, an x64 clean install is roughly 2 GB smaller than Pro
Its edition ID is 0xB7 which was missing from SDK headers pic.twitter.com/2Sn3SVXeZB— Lucas (@tfwboredom) 20. April 2018
In Setup a new entry Windows 10 Lean is enlisted. Lucas wrote, the a 64 bit installation ist 2 GB smaller als Windows 10 Pro.
Some accessories like backgrounds, drivers and apps have been omitted. Seems to identify itself as Windows 10 S Insider Preview and CloudE Edition, as a screenshot of the console in the tweet above suggests. However, it is unclear what the purpose of Microsoft is. (via)
