After an early construct of Windows 11 made its manner on-line, there weren’t many surprises throughout Microsoft’s latest “What’s next for Windows” occasion, however the one which did come out was an enormous one. The subsequent model of Microsoft’s working system will assist Android apps. What’s extra, Windows 11 will not be solely emulating them. 

With the assistance of Intel’s Bridge expertise, Microsoft’s Panos Panay promised the mixing can be “seamless and smooth.” What he did not say was precisely how the expertise would work, however now that is one thing we’ve got a solution to as properly.    

Intel says Bridge is a runtime post-compiler that enables functions that had been initially designed for quite a lot of totally different {hardware} platforms to run natively on x86 units. The firm factors out the expertise is a part of its ongoing XPU technique, which implies it will not be merely restricted to bringing Android apps to Windows 11.     

At the second, it is unclear what this implies for many who plan to run Windows 11 on AMD-based techniques. A runtime is not one thing that Microsoft would usually lock down. The system necessities for Windows 11 additionally do not name out Intel processors particularly. Either manner, we have reached out to Microsoft and AMD for clarification.

In follow, the inclusion of a characteristic that enables Windows 11 to natively run Android apps makes the working system a a lot nearer match for Apple’s M1-based Macs, which might run iOS apps and not using a developer making any modifications to their software program.
