    AJ_74, 11 Aug 2016Don't speak if you don't know what the heck you're talking ... moreSame back at you you completely ignored the content of my message HP has targeted the x86/x64 app issues with HP WorkSpace - the application is cloud hosted and you are in effect streaming it, I never said anything about installing it on the phone.

    Universal Apps will upscale in conjunction with Continuum to give a better experience/more use to users when connected to a larger screen/keyboard/mouse, That is ALL continuum is it will still require that legacy apps be virtualised/cloud hosted or rewritten to allow access.

            I believe this slogan that this phone is for business people is a marketing trick just like other tricks. It makes people admire it and justify the high price.If there are some business people reading these comments, please tell us what do you think will be the thing which you will be doing with this phone which you couldn't do with other gadgets out there and you really wanted it. Take MS lumia 950 for example, have the business people found them that beneficial to abandon their other devices? Because on the software side, the main difference with elite x3 I see is only running virtual apps. .

              Hope this does well. Right now MS is on track to be the first one to have one OS across all their systems. They are playing the long game.

You can't run x86/x64 apps on WP10. It's not supported via Continuum on any device because all Continuum devices use ARM processors. ARM processors can't run x86/x64 applications. Listen to your idiot logic...

Do you not know that WP doesn't run full x86/x64 apps? Do you realize that Android 4.0 from 2 years has more functionality that the latest version of WP10? Wouldn't office workers want a phone with a functional fingerprint scanner? I mean, the phone actually has a fingerprint scanner that the current version of WP10 doesn't even support!

                              I like the desktop system, now, the Windows 10 Mobile, this system is a permanent beta, maybe it'll finally release the full system in 2030 in the Redstone 10 update and maybe there will be apps as good as the Android and iOS apps!

                                        And the merge between ecosystems IS coming to Microsoft and it's coming to them first!
                                        You say you can't install a Win32 app on a Windows Phone, but this is one of the areas that HP has specifically targeted with the HP Elite X3 and HP Workspace, to bring that very functionality you don't install the app on your phone but you rather "stream" it from the Cloud.

                                        Arguably you can do this right now with Remote Desktop on Windows Phone and your home PC...
                                        Add in the continuum feature and there you go the ability to run any Win32 app right there on your Windows 10 Phone with a larger screen, keyboard and mouse attached.
