Last year Microsoft company had announced four projects that allow you to port applications to Windows 10 from other platforms. Among them were the Project Astoria and Project Islandwood for Android and iOS, respectively. Now, the company decided to abandon them.
The decision was made public the next day after buying the company from Redmond startup Xamarin, which will develop cross-platform mobile applications. Xamarin Development support Android, and iOS, using a common base the C # language.
It should be noted that now to run Microsoft applications on the desktop version of Windows 10 still use the emulator, which, of course, creates a heavy load on the system. The graphical shell KDE Plasma 5 for Linux-based systems already have the ability to run applications for the mobile platform, though it still has some limitations.
In general, the issue of Project Astoria for a long time after the announcement remained in the shadows, but now talk about porting Android-applications on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile, seems not necessary. Related Products :
