02:04:18 ◼   ► essential to it so let's go back to what what are the Microsoft options to get [TS]

02:04:23 ◼   ► apps software developed for Windows Phone so first was actually get people [TS]

02:04:29 ◼   ► to developers to to really gauge right native apps for Windows Phone not gonna [TS]

02:04:34 ◼   ► happen I don't think second would be for web apps to really take off cross [TS]

02:04:38 ◼   ► platform and then they could just piggyback on Android and iOS as [TS]

02:04:42 ◼   ► developers make weapons I don't think that's gonna happen which brings us to [TS]

02:04:48 ◼   ► number three which you written about Charles Arthur had a piece in The [TS]

02:04:53 ◼   ► Guardian there is a counter argument by Peter break which is that going to [TS]

02:05:03 ◼   ► present this is the 22 ways of doing the same thing [TS]

02:05:06 ◼   ► Charles Arthur said with Microsoft should do is for Android pretty much an [TS]

02:05:12 ◼   ► Amazon and just fork the open source version of Android Android and do their [TS]

02:05:17 ◼   ► own Microsoft version of Android and replace all of the stuff that like when [TS]

02:05:22 ◼   ► you get a Google Play version of Android we're all Hawks up to default goes to [TS]

02:05:28 ◼   ► Gmail and has chrome and Google sign in [TS]

02:05:31 ◼   ► replace at all with Microsoft Services and you would get you know being [TS]

02:05:36 ◼   ► and Windows Live email and all that now second version of the same argument is [TS]

02:05:45 ◼   ► that and and there are rumors that Microsoft is actually the second one [TS]

02:05:48 ◼   ► seems more like that which is that they should they can stick with Windows Phone [TS]

02:05:55 ◼   ► as the OS but have a runtime layered to run Android apps to me it's to its six [TS]

02:06:04 ◼   ► of one half a dozen I think it's a little bit more likely that they would [TS]

02:06:07 ◼   ► go the latter route because I think they would want to control I think they would [TS]

02:06:12 ◼   ► want to control the lower levels of the OS not that they wouldn't control an [TS]

02:06:16 ◼   ► open-source Android for but that they they already habit they don't need a new [TS]

02:06:21 ◼   ► kernel it's the absence after what say you will first deserve a title like a [TS]

02:06:34 ◼   ► small point like my main question would be if they did like the latter option [TS]

02:06:39 ◼   ► running Android apps on Windows with it you know I could run time for those abs [TS]

02:06:44 ◼   ► I was the performance gonna be like that would be my main my main question of [TS]

02:06:49 ◼   ► course it's fine on a Windows 8 device that's has an Intel processor which is [TS]

02:06:54 ◼   ► massively more powerful than the ARM processors but you know any iPhone which [TS]

02:07:04 ◼   ► is has has that smaller prizes or is it gonna be performing that'd be my main [TS]

02:07:09 ◼   ► question yeah you never know I would get a quick dial in John Siracusa I think [TS]

02:07:18 ◼   ► because Android apps are fundamentally Java apps and I know that you know [TS]

02:07:25 ◼   ► there's the whole lawsuit with Oracle and that they don't really use the [TS]

02:07:28 ◼   ► official job a trademark runtime have the dow their version then there's the [TS]

02:07:33 ◼   ► second one you know they have a new one that to replace dalvik [TS]

02:07:36 ◼   ► but because Android itself doesn't run native apps it's your not emulating [TS]

02:07:44 ◼   ► you know all they need is a Pik Android emulator right right so my understanding [TS]

02:07:53 ◼   ► I think you know with the way Java works that it I I think they get certainly [TS]

02:08:00 ◼   ► technically feasible that they could be performant yeah that was ok was so let's [TS]

02:08:07 ◼   ► let's assume that it is that that's probably the case that that would [TS]

02:08:13 ◼   ► probably preferable for them you know that I imagine controlling the kernel is [TS]

02:08:20 ◼   ► important to them so regardless it would be a significant step so I think it's [TS]

02:08:28 ◼   ► fair to those two together regardless in either case it's not a totally free once [TS]

02:08:37 ◼   ► rightly it's not like the automatically get all the Android apps right cause the [TS]

02:08:42 ◼   ► Android apps depend on the Google Play Store and I'm relatively certain that [TS]

02:08:48 ◼   ► Google is not going to develop a version of the Play Store for Windows right you [TS]

02:08:52 ◼   ► don't need the developers taxi submit the apps to the Microsoft Store right [TS]

02:08:57 ◼   ► and they're going to change a few API calls and things like that I think what [TS]

02:09:01 ◼   ► bright oversold in the article is the number of changes that developers to [TS]

02:09:06 ◼   ► make but I think it actually would be relatively trivial arm from a developer [TS]

02:09:12 ◼   ► selectively to support this new runtime if Windows Microsoft added it but the [TS]

02:09:20 ◼   ► fact is you're gonna have to go out and do that and there is a burden on [TS]

02:09:24 ◼   ► developers they have to maintain an additional like their meeting additional [TS]

02:09:29 ◼   ► version of the out but that said if I'm going to developer and this is my job at [TS]

02:09:35 ◼   ► Microsoft I did developer relations if you're going to develop parades a whole [TS]

02:09:42 ◼   ► lot easier to say can you just change these couple of lines in the API and [TS]

02:09:48 ◼   ► submit it here [TS]

02:09:49 ◼   ► and you're gonna get upside from cells in new customers versus can you make a [TS]
