Microsoft is preparing a breakthrough: the industry talked about the merger of Windows-based platforms
Microsoft continues to move in the direction of cross-platform. Some time after the announcement of the search for “helpers for combining the Windows Store and Windows Phone”, the information appeared on the Web that the company was working on merging Windows and Windows Phone into one operating system called Windows Blue. Earlier it was reported that Windows Blue will become an easy update for the Windows 8 platform. Obviously, this step will help Microsoft survive in rapidly changing conditions.
As reported by Digitimes news agency, the integrated operating system Windows Blue is being developed by a new team that works separately from the departments of Windows and Windows Phone. The new platform will compete with operating systems such as Google’s Android and Chrome.
According to experts, Microsoft is seriously concerned about the cooperation of manufacturers of personal computers with Google in the issue of production of laptops based on the Android mobile platform. Many companies have decided to hide from Microsoft the fact of participation in the new project, marking it "confidential".
If the integration of Windows Blue was delegated to a special group, then what are the commands of Windows and Windows Phone? Develop versions of Windows 9 and Windows Phone 9, without interfering with the integration process?
It is also unclear how the process of integration of Windows and Windows Phone will go. Both operating systems have similar user interface, kernel, support for working with cross-platform software and other features. The word "integration" can be understood as a merging of the functional of the two systems, and the release of a separate operating system that will work without problems with all the form factors of Windows and Windows Phone.
It is also possible that "integration" means the construction of a single architecture. Rumors about the rejection of Microsoft from Windows RT in favor of Windows Blue fit perfectly into this picture.
What will the integrated blue Windows look like? If Microsoft decides to combine the interfaces of Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8, then, most likely, it will choose the latter as a more flexible operating system in terms of scaling.
If a single operating system with a unified interface, support for any form factor and Windows applications is destined to be, then a real breakthrough is coming.
Next-generation Windows operating system is expected to debut in October 2013. The company itself does not yet confirm this information, but is already preparing Windows 8 for new 7-inch mobile devices.
