Running apps a particular operating system in an entirely different is not something strange. Today, we can emulate in our computer operating systems through virtual machines, which create an environment similar to that found if they were running natively. Android emulators are various consoles such as Gameboy Advance, SNES and Nintendo DS, with which we can play games on these platforms directly from our device with Android operating system . Windows Phone, Windows Mobile now, had always sin of not having a good catalog of applications as if there as iOS and Android. That’s why Microsoft launched Project Astoria , an ambitious project developers Redmond with porting my Google operating system to Windows 10 .
Project Astoria is a tool that intended to develop applications for Windows using the code the green android Mountain View OS. What would this tool, it would transform the app and make it compatible with Android, so developers could see how well it works to later publish it in the app store Windows .
Recently, some media published echoed in a rather unpleasant and discouraging for those who were looking forward to seeing news as the project developed since Unfortunately, Project Astoria would have been abandoned . To this, add that other projects, such as the Westminster Project , to provide web applications; Centennial Project , Win32 applications to carry classic Project Islandwood , for porting applications to Windows 10 Mobile operating system for Apple mobile devices, iOS, yet They would find standing, although with an unpredictable future and rather fuzzy .
The cause of abandonment would have it, more than anything, users, since forums where People shared their thoughts and doubts about the project had little movement, and developers seemed to delight them get too continue development . Following the causes of abandonment, also it would have had to see the errors in ports , which made the operating system, to install him “my” non-native, came to run slow and a very poor performance .
So, what began as salvation to the shortage of applications in Windows 10, it has ended up being a disastrous project that the achievements were scarce and abundant failures .
And you, what you thought of Project Astoria? Did you come to believe at some point that could be successful? What do you think you can use Android apps on other operating systems? Let your opinion in the comments.
