Microsoft is taking meticulous efforts to up bring the sales figure of desktop and mobile and one such earnest effort is that Microsoft is opening up Windows to Android apps reportedly. This innovative effort will surely help users to download the apps from a store run by a third-party "enabler" where Microsoft is still the gatekeeper.
It would not be the first time Android
apps have
appeared on Windows with a third-party enabler. The software maker BlueStacks already
allows users to run Android apps on Windows devices which includes Microsoft's
Surface Pro.
BlueStacks App
Player uses a special virtualization technology that is theoretically able to
run any app supported in Android devices. BlueStacks works as
a small application on Windows Sidebar that can be easily launched
when needed. BlueStacks
can automatically sync applications, app updates, photos and SMS from your
phone to your desktop. You can change various settings, such as the
keyboard layout, language and even in which window size should individual app
be launched. Apps size can be set to tablet, large phone or even small phone.
It is a great way how to customize BlueStacks.

This is the way how Android apps run on Windows but
as Microsoft is coming up with the idea of building its own software to run
Android applications would surely be easier and compatible.
However, the company is still under
discussion phase whether to move ahead with this plan or not. If this decision
takes a positive turn then it would surely open up the
company's desktop and mobile platforms to Android apps.
Now let’s see what
it actually turns out to be.
