Android apps by not coming soon to Windows 10. 
The future is uncertain for Microsoft’s plan to launch a tool to bring apps originally developed for Android to their own Windows 10 operating system.
The tool called Project Astoria, it was designed to encourage application developers to powered by Android to bring these applications to the new operating system Microsoft devices. Windows remains the central software for most PCs, but Microsoft has struggled to infect phones and tablets, where Apple and Google software is still dominant.
Now, for Microsoft, apparently the progress of this tool is not progressing as planned. The company did not say whether Astoria has been canceled at all or if one day see the light of day. “We are committed to offer developers many options to bring their applications to the Windows platform,” Microsoft spokesman said Monday. “The Astoria bridge is not yet ready, but other tools offer great options for developers.”
It is vital to Microsoft that Windows 10 succeed after his predecessor, Windows 8, it was widely despised. A wide selection of applications for Windows 10 is crucial to its success, so that people can meet their needs for entertainment, communication and work – and that Microsoft can extend the financial success of Windows.
The previous software for smartphones Microsoft managed not to gain strength, partly due to lack of applications compared to iOS applications Apple and Google Android available. Astoria was supposed to be a central part of a strategy to attract leading application developers to Windows
Perhaps the future of Astoria is in doubt, but Microsoft has already published two related tools. “IslandWood “which allows developers to bring applications Apple iOS software Windows 10, and” Westminster “, which does the same for applications designed for the Web. Microsoft also plans to release a similar tool “very soon” to bring older applications from Windows to Windows 10, the company said.
Some clues indicate the waning enthusiasm for Astoria, according to the Central Windows blog. Project forums were silenced in September, and questions remained unanswered developers by Microsoft. And Microsoft eliminated Astoria latest test versions of Windows 10 to mobile devices.
The main disadvantage is that Astoria is actually an emulator, a layer of software that allows programs written for a base in other managed software. But often means emulating the style of an application does not fit well in the new environment or get the most out of their functions.
In a perfect world for Microsoft, developers would write their applications directly to Windows 10 from the beginning.
“Developers can write applications that run on all Windows 10 devices and maximize the native capabilities of Windows,” Microsoft said. “We are very grateful for the feedback from the developer community and look forward to supporting them as they develop applications for Windows 10″.
