Microsoft is rumored to be considering adding Android applications to its Windows operating system in 2021, according to a new report.
Applications, such as Bluestacks, provide an emulation of the Android system, but Microsoft's move to make available applications downloadable and playable, along with UWP and Win32 applications.
Internal talks are still going on about the possibility of adding an environment that runs Android applications called Android Runtime to Windows 10.
These changes may come just on time for a major release of Microsoft's operating system, expected in fall 2021
Android was adopted by Microsoft as the preferred operating system for mobile devices for the first time when Windows 10 Mobile was announced in 2017
The company offers a mobile version of most of its applications for the Android system, and users of "Your Phone" application for Windows can run many applications from compatible smartphones, but this service is currently limited to Samsung users
The addition of direct access to Android applications is a major upgrade to Windows 10, which puts it in direct competition with Google's Chromebooks, which can run ChromeOS and Android and Linux applications simultaneously.
With access to the Chrome browser and rumors about the graphical user interface of the Linux operating environment, the addition of Android applications makes Windows an almost universal operating system.
And it is said: Windows 10X RTM, a version of the operating system targeted at muli-screen devices, may be ready before end of the year, with products in use expected early spring 2021
