Windows 10 for Android and other Microsoft projects

We can get the Windows 10 interface on Android through different apps, but Microsoft will soon launch an app of its own. Most of the apps that are available until now, have a Google Play rating of 4 out of 5 stars. People seem to be pretty satisfied with apps like Mobile Software Solutions Knoll, one of the apps that have released a Windows interface for Android.

Microsoft is now working on a launcher which is more than a simple theme. Microsoft’s launcher will have a Start Menu system and other features like Cortana, Bing, Outlook, Office, Windows Swiping Gestures, camera apps, etc.

“To empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more … at our core, Microsoft is the productivity and platform company for the mobile-first and cloud-first world.” Microsoft stated.

A Windows emulator for Mac and Linux called Codeweavers CrossOver will be released on Android tablets, a version that will run Windows 10 Universal Apps. Also, you can use Android apps on Windows devices by using Blue Stacks or “Project Astoria” which will soon be released and it will work on any Windows 10 device.

Seeing how easy it is to cross Android apps to Windows 10 and vice versa, the Windows 10 mobile brought a new feature to phones, Continuum. This unique feature allows people to use the Windows 10 system on a plugged in monitor. Practically, by using a dongle, you can connect your Windows 10 mobile to a monitor, keyboard and mouse and have your own custom made “PC” powered by Windows 10 software.
