Microsoft 11735 Published by

Microsoft management is believed to be debating the technical and strategic wisdom of enabling Android apps on Windows and Windows Phone devices. But would such a move hurt or help Microsoft?



From All About Microsoft:
The Verge's Tom Warren isn't crazy (at least in one respect). But whether Microsoft officials are may be up for debate.

Like Warren, I've heard Microsoft's top honchos have been debating whether they should enable Android apps to run natively on Windows and Windows Phone. (I mentioned this in passing in my February Redmond Magazine column, entitled "What Android's Inclusion in Windows Means for Microsoft," but downplayed it because I felt it was more of an "everything's on the table" possibility rather than something likely to happen.)
  Would (and should) Microsoft enable Android apps on Windows?
