Is there a Google Cast alternative?

[PhilDaKing]

Hi there,

I am using Windows 10 on my Notebook and Windows 10 Mobile on my Lumia 930 right now. And I'm quite happy with it. But what I am absolutely missing is the possibility to stream content to a second screen a la Google Cast.
I know the problem is that Google isn't offering a SDK for Windows. But why is Microsoft not getting on this issue?
They could easily make their own version of Google Cast as they have XBox. Or they could try to make a unoffical Google Cast SDK for Windows.
Does anyone know if something like this is planned for Windows 10?

And don't come up with Miracast! Miracast is a totally different approach to Google Cast or Amazon Fing and does aim on different use cases.

Greetings

An alternative exists in a standard called DIAL. Microsoft should probably support this like they did Miracast, but it doesn't need Microsoft's support for developers to use it.
