Deep down, Microsoft knows that integrating Windows and Windows Phone is essential. Only by having both operating systems work together does either one stand a chance of surviving in a world where people demand a decent ecosystem. All the same apps and services that work in Windows 10 for notebooks, tablets, desktops and 2-in-1s works with Windows Phone. Passwords and other information always sync between the too.
The company is also very realistic about its chances of eclipsing iPhone and Android at this point. In addition to offering its own operating system, Microsoft is reaching out to users through a new app called Phone Companion. Phone companion allows users to add files to their Android and Windows Phones. In addition to that, the app includes quick links to apps that bring the Windows experience to the iPhone and Android. Besides OneDrive and Outlook, the app includes Cortana, the digital personal assistant that’s built into Windows 10. |
