It will soon be possible to use Android and iOS apps on your Windows Phone. That said, Microsoft is a big presentation for developers. It is also possible to use Firefox and Chrome-extensions in the new Spartan-browser, and to use applications in Office.
Although the presentation was mainly focused on the creators of apps, there was for Windows 10 is also plenty to discover. One of the most important developments is the ability to run Android apps on Windows Phone.
Windows Phone has always had the problem that there are few apps available. Microsoft wants to change that with Windows 10. The mobile variant therefore also supports applications written for Android or iOS. Those are fairly easy ‘to convert’ to apps for Windows. This must be identical with the release of Windows 10 already a lot of apps are available for download. It’s also about apps that you would not normally on Windows Phone to see.
Edge-browser
Microsoft also made known about the new browser, which ‘Edge’ is called. That’s the new name for the browser that was first known as ‘Project Spartan’. It is the successor of Internet Explorer. Which remains still exist in Windows 10, but ‘Edge’ is the default browser.
plugins
One of the biggest missed Internet Explorer has always been the lack of good plugins. That made competing browsers like Firefox and Google Chrome just as popular. The ‘edge’ browser will also get support for such add-ons. Rather than develop its own system, but Microsoft is however possible to use existing Chrome and Firefox extensions in the new browser. Therefore, there are many plugins thereby instantly download and use.
Apps in Office
Developers can get started with Office. That fact gets better support for apps. Incidentally, already existed – even in Office 2013 was it possible to use apps. That feature, however, was able to find no one – not both users and developers. Therefore in Office apps were made only made one.
Uber and LinkedIn
The new Office 2016 easier to use such apps. As an example, Microsoft called a plug-taxi service Uber, which can be accessed via a plugin to your calendar. So it can book a taxi for you if it sees that example to catch a flight.
Microsoft wants Windows 10 and Office suite make one system for each device, so both your smartphone and your desktop. This also means that such apps on all devices to use, whether you’re on your phone or sitting on your PC.
Personal Information
Another example is LinkedIn, which can create an app that you can use in Excel. It lets you add a list of contacts right away to your friends network. The disadvantage of such apps is that you give them access to your personal information. A service like Uber give you access to your calendar or your contacts list. According to Microsoft, however, you must give permission to any app that wants to have that info. That would be as if you do go with apps from Google Play or Apple App Store.
It is still not certain when Windows 10 is finally released. According to the latest rumor is that “the end of July, but a final date has not been announced. It was expected that Microsoft would make more known about this conference, but that has not happened as yet.
