Re:Android Killed Windows Phone, Not Apple by WorldMaker on Monday July 24, 2017 @12:47PM (#14840027)
Project Astoria, the Android bridge, also known as the Windows Subsystem for Linux was repurposed for Developer tools/environments (the Ubuntu/OpenSUSE/Fedora on Windows tools we can use now) when the Windows mobile community mostly agreed, based on market experience of BlackBerry 10, that just running Android apps as-is without forcing the developers to port them, and without the availability of Google Play Services, could be a death sentence for the platform. (If Windows 10 is just a bad Android, why not get a real Android?)
