    Anonymous, 20 Oct 2015 That's a good news for all lumia users, why ? Wd OS p... moreYes, you are 100% right.
    It's impossible to develop crappy apps in .NET.
    .NET compiler has a code check that does not compile if it detects a fart app.

      "...the reason for removal is that the Android subsystem was slowly degrading Windows 10 Mobile."
      I also noticed that the more apps you install on a Scamsung smartphone the more Android experience degrades (slow essential apps start time).

          Who knows whether this actually means anything. The developer tools were only released in August. The emulator build is later but still has the Android Bridge files. It seems pretty unlikely MS has given up on the Android bridge this soon after its release. That would really annoy developers.

            BBM would have been the only app to sideload for me. Blackberry should update the freaking app on windows phone.

                Wd OS platform has almost all the basic and essential applications. Window store would constantly keep on expanding with time. so, quick adding of some cheap Android Apps is not a wise idea. In fact it would simply downgraded the standard quality of Wd OS ecosystem within a couple of Years.

                  The real reason is that android apps takes too much resource which will hurt windows mobile in a long term.Wndows phone users can cope with the apps. Most of the internationaly popular apps are already available for windows phone.

                                Hopefully this means that this build doesn't suffer the same performance degradation as the previous one. I mean, having Android apps is one thing, but they don't have to mimic the whole Android experiences 😉

                                      Look at how much brighter the superimposed screen of the Lumia is! The Lumia is obviously the better smartphone.
