If I owned Microsoft stock I would question this investment of resources. How much is this costing the organization, and what is the likely return? For return on investment they not only have to pull off a techical feat that nobody else has achieved, but also the availability of 'Windowized' Android apps will have to spur a massive increase in Windows Mobile sales, another unlikely event.
Maybe this project doesn't cost much or maybe Microsoft sees it as eseential for their business' future and worth the risk.
- proksoup 11y agoThe lack of apps for windows mobile is a killer feature it's missing. I think they have tried other avenues, like incentivizing developers ... but they are so far behind, what other options could they pursue to solve that problem?
- hackuser 11y agoIf you have a product that is highly unlikely to succeed, the solution isn't to invest money in highly unlikely remedies. If that's your best option (maybe Microsoft has better ones; I don't know) kill the product. Also, they could use a VM and give up providing a 'Windowized' interface to the apps.
