The idea of merging Android apps and Windows isn't new, and in some ways you can already do it, but as it looks like the Microsoft αυτή τη στιγμή μελετά ένα μελλοντικό μείγμα που θα επιτρέψει το λειτουργικό σύστημα της να τρέχει Android εφαρμγές τόσο για desktop υπολογιστές όσο και γία συσκευές Windows Phone.
The Verge reports via anonymous sources that a number of Microsoft executives have expressed support for allowing Android apps to run on Windows, but their internal discussions are still ongoing with reports of a number of major flaws that could seriously harm the platform of Windows.
Basically, Microsoft wants to bring Android apps to Windows, not only to increase the number of tools available to its users, but also to slow down the growth of Android as this platform continues to have high-speed growth started two years ago.
Although this could clearly be a major asset for Microsoft, there are some critical disadvantages that Redmond is afraid of, the report says.
First, Android apps on Windows could seriously undercut Metro apps, and Microsoft has already spent a fortune on campaigns that are supposed to bring the company's development closer and encourage them? users to go to Windows 8.
Second of all, the arrival of Android applications in the Store will create even more confusion among users and developers, and Microsoft has worked hard to convince the world with the launch of Windows 8.
Microsoft will not be the first company to incorporate Android support into the platform flagship, as the BlackBerry did the same thing as BlackBerry 10, and the results so far have been far below expectations.
In Redmond, on the other hand, they apparently plan to use it BlueStacks as a core foundation. AMD is already working with BlueStacks and Intel is reportedly pushing Microsoft to increase the focus on technologies that could bring Android applications to Windows.
Verge writes that if Microsoft's plans are to bring Android apps to Windows, it's very unlikely to happen until 2015 when Windows 9 will hit the market.
