Revenge of Microsoft Windows 10 lust Android and iOS apps – NRC Q

The new version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system may soon also run Android and iOS apps. With a relatively small modification developers to convert their software and make it suitable for Windows phones. For example, Microsoft hopes in one fell swoop refuting the main criticisms of Windows smartphones:. There were not enough interesting apps available

Microsoft made the news Wednesday announced their Build conference. There were more details of Windows 10 is shown. This will, according to the software maker within three years to run on 1 billion devices – tablets, phones and regular computers. For example, Microsoft is hoping to catch up on Android and iOS, the operating systems that now dominate the mobile phone. Microsoft is the undisputed leader in the PC, the mobile phone market is much larger.



The app gap

There is a Windows Phone version for smartphones (Microsoft acquired last year phone maker Nokia on which to make equipment itself). In terms of market share continues to Windows Phone (3%) far behind Android and iOS. Android and iOS each have around 1.3 million apps in their download stores, Windows employs over half a million apps, but not always up to date. If the “app gap poem, it is expected that will be more consumers are opting for Windows.



 Screen shot 2015-04-29 at 19:58:35

The languages ​​of iOS and Android are translated into the Windows system. Android developers can upload their app to the Windows Store for iOS apps there is a translation program code with “a few minor adjustments” turnover for Windows 10 version.

Zdnet reports that these custom Android and iOS apps only run on ARM processors (because they also have been developed there). The translated apps do not work on ordinary Windows PCs with an Intel chip. It is Microsoft so primarily to fill the empty shelves in the mobile appwinkel. That makes the ephemeral existence of Windows RT (a version of Windows 8, only for ARM processors, was immediately after the introduction stopped again) a bit more understandable

Separately considers Microsoft Windows phones and small PCs.: couple a mouse, a keyboard and a large screen and you have a full-fledged computer, the software promises. Continuum for Phones, called that function.



The universal value of Satya

Under the leadership of the new CEO Satya Nadella Microsoft is undergoing rapid transformation. Windows is no longer a separate product that should make a lot of money, but a way of Microsoft’s other services, such as Office, to sell Skype and storage service OneDrive. Under Nadella’s regime, the price of Windows licenses fell again and make Microsoft software are suitable for all operating systems (like the Office version for Android and iOS). That open-mindedness now also goes the other apps from other operating systems are welcome in the Windows environment

Microsoft did not succeed on their own to seize power on the mobile phone.. This ‘universal’ Approach – Access for iOS and Android – is a concession, but it would be the revenge of Microsoft. Others view it as a desperate attempt to catch up to Apple and Google . BlackBerry also added Android compatibility to its operating system, but it had no effect on its popularity. Whether Microsoft’s approach pays off when we know there three years one billion devices running on Windows 10. Or not

Microsoft Windows 10 also replaces its old Web browser, Internet Explorer, a new variant. Edge. That version is much lighter (for the computer) and you can’m used to quickly create notes with. Edge can also run extensions of competing browsers like Chrome and Firefox.

For Windows 10 is released no definite release date. Microsoft had earlier about ‘the end of this summer, but it can also be the beginning of September. If you hurry, you can download a free trial version here.



Hololens

Microsoft demonstrated at Build also be weather virtual reality helmet Hololens at the Build conference, including an interactive anatomy lesson in 3D. Earlier we saw a NASA demo. The reactions to the new applications were enthusiastic; Hololens is the most exciting version of Windows to date, which adds a virtual layer to your real environment. The user can control the pixels with gestures and voice. Unlike other VR glasses there is no separate computer needed

For now Hololens is a (successful) lekkermakertje for the Windows 10 launch.; Microsoft still leaves nothing away about launch date or price.

Android beats iPhone – Macworld

Google apps for Android (left)

News The Android platform than defeats finally still the iPhone, at least if you’re a little play around with numbers. More money is earned with Android apss the apps from the Apple App Store, but it is fair to say that there is a snake sitting in the grass.

For the first time in history, more sales are derived from the sale of apps on Google’s Android platform than from Apple’s App Store. That said, at least the company Digi Capital. Now worldwide for many years more Android devices sold than iOS devices, but Apple always knew until now to generate more money to its users than to the Android Platform knew loose

But now it is different, but as with any comparison is the time also a bit limp. Because, as Business Insider points out rightly, in the figures of Digi Capital are also included sales from the Android platform in China. And let Google just now in China have no official Play store and not have their own apps. The money earned in China because Google sees no yuan.

Without China wins Apple’s platform still. Besides, also in sales for in-game purchases Apple is still far in the lead. So comparing Digi Capital seems like with like, but does indicate that Android in terms of sales on the rise.
