PROJECT ASTORIA; Dream or Reality?

[Gerdhardt Morpheus EXes]

LET'S DISCUSS THIS
Microsoft is doing a great job with Windows 10 for mobile and PC's. With windows 10 around the corner and the huge announcement of porting Android apps and IOS apps to run on windows and all that Microsoft is trying to put in place to make the platform a great success, the question is:

1. What are some android apps that you know of that have already been reassembled (for the lack of a better word) to run on Windows mobile??
2. When would we begin to see android and ios apps in our beloved windows store??

The major one that has already been mentioned is Candy Crush Saga. Other than that, I don't know of any.

Are there any possibilities of developers ever porting their apps any soon?

Porting any app is still allot of work, it seems a lot of people think this is now as easy as dropping code in which it is not. All it does is allow for existing code to be put in and to some agree it will remap API calls to the relevant Windows API calls. Everything else still needs to be changed by and.

Personally I think it looks good on paper bat in real liife it's not all that useful or productive
