>Evleaks knows something mind-blowing about Microsoft and/or Windows, but he won't tell
>Blass' original tweet says "I know something that's going to blow your minds, Windows faithful", and this is undoubtedly as mysterious as it gets!
What will it be /g/.
>>5292349
OS with real AI
Windows 10 will go open source.
Don't tell anyone.
>>52923496
Microsoft... spies on Windows users!
What's it going to be? WP running full native Android in the background so people finally stop bitching about muh apps?
>>52923496
He probably just excited over 1 billion people with that tweet.
They are going to stop hiring Indians to shill on /g/?
>>52923584
More likely Windows app platform will run on top of android.
Microsoft has already made Android their plan B by working with forks (Cyanogen OS) to bundle and integrate Microsoft apps and services.
>>52923663
That would be a damn shame.
I wish WP would take off, I really do.
A "mobile landscape" with just Apple and Google would be worse, and everyone else like Jolla, Canonical and Mozilla is a joke
>>52923628
Never.
>>52923712
Would it really be so bad? If Microsoft brought over their interface as a launcher, integrated Cortana and other services, and made Windows universal apps run on Android, it would effectively be the same as Windows Phone only with full Android app compatibility
>>52923602
Lol, under rated post
I knew it all along.
I told you but you wouldn't listen.
It eats our brains.
>>52923496
They ported Songsmith to windows phone

>>52923496
They're going to release an x86 phone with intel, which is going to run full windows 10.
>>52923539
But it's already open source
We have the source of NT4, 2k and DOS 6.22
Windows RT is coming back.
>>52923777
>the same
I have WP and it runs smooth on my 1 gb ram - snapdragon 400 phone.
Do you think it will be 'the same' when I would install android on this device?
>>52923663
Actually there's no need for that.
Windows 10 Mobile already has built-in android compatibility, much like few other oses (I believe bb os and Sailfish did it already), so no, they won't just abandon ship
>>52923496
>phonearena
not even once
>>52923955
>62 hidden ads
>>52923496
But we already knew what it was for almost two years now. It's not like OEMs can actually hide that they're converting their PC factories into phone factories. It just needs a keyboard attachment for portable use and it'll btfo laptops for 99% of normalfags.

Canonical was gonna do it first with Ubuntu for Android then abandoned the project, this was in 2012. Now Microsoft will do it and dominate the concept.
The year of the Linux desktop will NEVER come.
>>52924290
>Now Microsoft will do it and dominate the concept.
It won't run x86 applications. Remember Windows RT?
>>52923945
Last I heard is that Microsoft abandoned The planned Android compatibility feature for Windows Mobile. They're still working on the iOS bridge feature to enable iOS porting, but the android stuff in Windows is ded
>>52924434
the files from the android project appeared in the newest redstone build, it's very much alive
>>52924053
>le uhide xDDD
Seriously though, Why not just use a amalgamated host file?

It's dead, Jim
>>52923919
Spoiler alert: Android ran smooth on the gen1 Moto g as well
>>52924290
Ubuntu tablets are coming out with that feature, they abandoned Ubuntu Android to make their own OS
>>52923919
My Lumia 520 1Ghz dual core of 512mbs of ram 2014 runs worst than a Xperia Neo V 1Ghz unicore Android 2.3.3 with 384mbs of ram.

It's coming this year.
Wait for the MWC and you'll see new tablets, phones with convergence.
Mind Blown
A Surface Phone, obviously. It's the only logical way to do things if they want Windows Phone to survive.
>>52923602
Smaaaassshhh dat mutha-fuckin button!
>>52926415
Yeah but that's only for specific phones and tablets that come with it preinstalled, right? It's nothing like Ubuntu for Android was supposed to be.
>>52923628
What's wrong with helping /g/ switch to a more secure and supported OS?
>>52923881
That would be could to run Gentoo + Virtualbox on it.
>>52923496
Windows phone a botnet too.
>>52926545
< this, pajeet
>>52924411
>Windows RT
>>52926544
Yeah they did their own smartphone OS that is actually better than android.
That's why

I seriously hope canonical will succeed with ubuntu touch.
Evan here here, here's what I know.
Windows 10 is actually a botnet, you guys were right all along. Microsoft plans on clustering the botnet and becoming the worlds largest bitcoin miner. Then they will turn all of the bandwidth from the botnet towards China, ruining their economy. Finally they will use the bitcoin gained from the earlier step to buy China and rename it Linux Sucks.
>>52923539
I could see it going open source, it would be nice though.
>>52927056
I could see the mobile version of Windows 10 going open source.
>>52923496
all W10 installs will switch over to requiring a monthly fee once the free W10 roll-out wraps up in july
>>52927079
That's retarded. You're a retard.
>>52927068
why only the mobile version?
>>52927112
To gain market share. It's working for android, and one of the problems with Windows phone is the lack of diversity.
>>52927142
I know that but why not the desktop version too?
