Rumor has it that Microsoft will soon spread the word that all Windows 10 gadgets (PC, tablets and of course smartphones) will run Android applications. This statement will be corroborated at the Build developer conference, which will take place in San Francisco.
However, Thurrott is skeptical about Microsoft’s strategy and states the following: “But letting Android apps run on Windows is a completely different matter. Indeed, it is the literal opposite of opening up universal apps to Android. And I question the logic of this strategy” were his words.
But if these rumors prove to be true, Microsoft will be able to actually fix the platform’s small app environment, something that really makes Windows phone users a bit anxious. This means more access for the users to all sorts of applications that they could not access before. But users will just have to wait and see how exactly Microsoft will manage the Android applications. The rest of the devices that operate on Windows 10 will also profit from the Android apps.
Thurrott declares that this new Android compatibility is a low blow for developers. This means that all the specialists, who have worked hard on Microsoft’s platforms, should move onwards, since there is nothing left for them to do. He strongly believes that by including Android app support for Windows 10 will make Microsoft’s platform zip. He also claims that this is a complete collapse and Windows will loose its value even more.
At the Build convention, Microsoft will also unveil some technical fine points of its platform. It is also expected to launch a few code samples for developers to test. And let’s not forget the fact that Microsoft announced Universal Windows Apps, a strategy that was believed to bring a more familiar program cycle to computers, tables and phones at the previous Build convention back in 2014.
