As part of a deal it signed with Redmond, Lenovo will ship some of its future Android devices pre-installed with Microsoft Office, Skype, and .

Companies did not reveal which devices will have applications.

"At Microsoft we are excited that our productivity apps will be pre-installed on Lenovo devices," said Nick Parker, corporate vice president of Microsoft's OEM Division.

"The marriage of Microsoft applications and Lenovo Android devices will allow customers around the world to be more productive, more connected to achieve even more."

As of February this year, Microsoft had signed contracts with 74 Android manufacturers under similar terms, including: , ASUS, Acer and Dell.

Recall that after the Superfish scandal (pre-installed adware in Windows that allowed man-in-the-middle attacks) Lenovo announced that it would try to clear its image.

Whatever the bloatware will be waiting for us in the corner with a different brand name. The joke is that there is a world that buys Android because it does not want to use Microsoft products.
