Horrible! Just looked it up:

How is it different from Windows 10 Home or Pro?

The big difference between Windows 10 S and any other version of Windows 10 is that 10 S can only run applications downloaded from the Windows Store. Every other version of Windows 10 has the option to install applications from third-party sites and stores, as has the majority of versions of Windows before it.

Which apps won’t Windows 10 S be able to run? Any apps that are not currently available in the Windows Store will not be able to be installed or run. That includes Apple’s iTunes, Google’s Chrome browser and the full versions of Adobe’s Acrobat, Photoshop and the rest of the Creative Suite – or anything else that’s installed via the traditional Windows 7 or earlier way .

As I said, the Windows App Store is a desert. I write my own stuff using MSAccess and VBS (and MS provides a ton more tools such as PowerShell, Perl and others) — none can be used.

Whoever came up with this idea in the delusional belief they are the same as Android or Apple should be publicly flogged and otherwise treated like a malware writer.

This kills the SB market. Probably for good.

MS took a knee.
