The dual screens look like a marketing gimmick in search of an actual use...
What about the ASUS ZenBook Pros that already have two screens?
Are they popular? Just curious...

I disagree, screen real estate is precious.

#23Microsoft is using Android! Lauren Goode got a great quote from Satya on this topic: > When I asked Satya Nadella whether Microsoft ever thought about reviving a true Windows mobile OS, he told me: "The operating system is no longer the most important layer for us...What is most important for us is the app model and the experience." https://twitter.com/LaurenGoode/status/1179421631506210822 Update: my apologies, this…
As long as Google owns the mobile OS, Microsoft will never be able to maintain any significant control over the app model or user experience.
Maybe a veiled hint at doing something like the Amazon Fire Phone, only more thoughtfully?

That's not true. Look at what Huawei, Samsung, and One Plus have done.

That picture gave me a big Courier vibe[1], always wished Microsoft could have made that happen.

The parent story isn't about some version of Android. Windows 10 X is a real version of Windows, based on the NT Kernel.

Maybe, but android is not part of 10 X at all from what I can tell? The article says it builds off the core pieces of Windows 10. It even runs Win32 apps?

Sparked a memory for me; one of my biggest career regrets...
I had an interview for head of IT at danger, but I had a really really bad flu at the time.
I performed poorly on an interview I would have normally nailed, but it was one of the worst sicknesses I have had, and I didn’t have the frame of mind to reschedule....
So I totally regret that. Had I rescheduled, I would have changed my life path.

#29It reminds me how the first Surface Pro looked like.
It was incomplete and useless device so it didn't go well. However, Microsoft didn't give up. After three iterations Microsoft finally made Surface Pro 3, which was the first useful Windows tablet with a cleverly designed keyboard and a great 3:2 ratio screen. The surface line finally took off and third-parties began to make "surface-like" products since then.
Microsoft is not like Apple. They don't make perfect products at the beginning, but they eventually nailed it after some iterations (I know they still have software issues though.) So I will wait and see what Microsoft will make in the next generations.

Clearly Microsoft disagrees. They are putting tremendous effort into using chromium for their new Edge browser so I would have to assume they would put even more resources into customizing Android to their liking. Perhaps on a technical level, chromium-Edge will 'feel' like any other chromium based browser and android-Windows will 'feel' like any other Android based OS BUT for normal & business users - there is a lot Microsoft could do to make Android fit into a 'Microsoft/Windows'ecosystem. If it's at least partially successful, I would expect them to start making their own UI frameworks/libraries for developers to really distance the platform.
