No PC mode, Microsoft said Win limited run Android applications

As rumored, Microsoft Build Assembly at the end of April, the officially announced support for Windows 10 will run ported Android and iOS applications. At that time the outside world that Android developers porting applications very easily and completely reusable Java and C ++ code compiled simple later on Windows 10 built-in subsystem (Subsystem) can be run directly. 

　　Now Microsoft has made ​​this argument further explanation, and that the so-called "transplant" is not so simple. Wei Feng network May 12 news, Microsoft executives Kevin Gallo in an interview, Windows 10 can run Android applications ported, but this will not affect developers on their own platform development enthusiasm, because these so-called "transplantation" There are some limitations. 

　　Developers will not abandon the development of Windows applications

　　Kevin Gallo said Microsoft's goal has always been to reduce the developers hope will bring the cost of other platform applications on Windows only: 

　　"We lowered the threshold for Windows, make sure developers to reduce access to our platform costs, developers can build applications efficiently with complex written code, rather than over and over again rewrite the code. " 

　　As Microsoft said, will be ported to Windows Android applications do not be too difficult, since Microsoft developers provided on the Windows system and the corresponding Android API interfaces, such as Cortana and dynamic magnetic stickers, etc., make full use of plug-ins and features of Windows. 

　　However, not all of the properties has a corresponding API interfaces, one of which is a continuation pattern Continuum. Continuum model focuses on Windows Mobile, and then the phone connected to the monitor, any application can be in the form of general-purpose PC desktop mode and show a continuation of the large display to automatically adjust screen size, supported by the Bluetooth button mouse. The transplant Android and iOS applications, though also common application, but does not have the Continuum features. 

　　The reason why Microsoft developers say worried enthusiasm for Windows developed lower, the biggest reason why the developer if you want your applications to take full advantage of Windows features, you must go much further, completely redeveloped common native Windows application, rather than from Android or iOS transplant. 

　　"User Experience (designed for small-sized devices) may appear on the desktop, but do not have any cross-device characteristics, because the experience is not suitable for these applications." Kevin Gallo said.

　　Microsoft is working to improve relations with developers

　　anyway, Microsoft this "big move" will help make up Windows ecosystem "application lacks" troubles, especially mobile internet. After a long time, Microsoft's mobile platform is always a lack of variety of specialized fields of application, such as for the payment or bank types of applications, many banks are basically no Windows Phone client. 

　　Microsoft is porting easier, in essence, that a number of important developers back again, telling them to develop applications for Windows are now easier, because the migration process can reuse most of the Android code. 

　　Finally Kevin Gallo also said that Microsoft "made some mistakes began," and now is the time to solve these problems, "We work with developers to re-establish the connection, it has been our tradition, we are not good enough in the past."
