Samsung is also flirting with Microsoft, "The Microsoft Edition Android phone appears to be exactly the same as the regular version of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus from a hardware perspective, but it will apparently have some features that make it easier to install and use Microsoft apps that don't already come preinstalled on the device, such as Outlook and Cortana, when users first connect to Wi-Fi. The Galaxy S8 will ship with Office basics such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as OneDrive and Skype"

- mtgx 10y agoThey've been "flirting" since Windows Phone 8 days. Also, the "new Microsoft" is using its patent extortion scheme to get "deals" out of manufacturers, where they say they won't extort them anymore with patent royalties if the phone makers accept to put the Microsoft apps on their phones. http://www.androidauthority.com/microsoft-cuts-patent-fees-for-apps-600824/ http://www.androidauthority.com/microsoft-cuts-patent-fees-f... http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/23/12599132/lenovo-microsoft-office-skype-onedrive-android-devices http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/23/12599132/lenovo-microsoft-...
