Microsoft has managed to close a cooperation agreement with the operating Cyanogen OS. Cyanogen Inc., in line with the Microsoft's collaboration agreement, is set to promote devices with Cyanogen OS that will have pre-installed Microsoft services.
So in the next period it is very likely that we will see services such as Bing, Outlook, Skype, the OneDrive, and Microsoft Office come pre-installed on Cyanogen Inc.'s operating system.
The agreement between two of companies concerns only the operating system Cyanogen OS, and thus the community using the open firmware CyanogenMod will continue not to see the "hated" applications of Microsoft.
But the friends of the open-source CyanogenMod firmware are quite unhappy with the agreement of an open source company with Microsoft. Despite Cyanogen's assurances and Cyanogen OS's separation from CyanogenMod, its functional friend does not seem to be happy. Read the comments.
For those who do not know, the Cyanogen OS is an operating system, the official version of Android developed by Cyanogen Inc. The operating system is not immediately available in the finals users, but to manufacturers who want to install it on their devices. For example, the OnePlus One is currently one of the most popular devices that comes with Cyanogen OS pre-installed.
On the other hand, CyanogenMod, which has a huge community, is a customized version of Cyanogen OS and does not come with pre-installed applications. This will not change in the future, as reported by the project manager, despite the agreement with Microsoft.
Microsoft seems to wish to strengthen its presence on other mobile platforms, and a very good example is the agreement with Cyanogen Inc.
Agreements that shut down, in most cases, are pushing Microsoft's applications to Android, and rather aim to persuade platform users to switch to Windows Phone where they can find the same applications but with a complete operating system for a complete experience.
Microsoft has closed a similar deal for its pre-installed apps with Samsung and is likely to seek out more such agreements with Android manufacturers.
