On: Android Apps on Windows 11

[wvenable]

To answer your second question, very likely. Microsoft would have zero luck populating their own Android store from scratch. It's a win-win for both companies as they're playing second fiddle to the Google Play Store and maybe even the Samsung store. Attracting developers to submit apps requires a large market.

The question wasn't if it was better than a new, from-scratch store. It was if it was better than the current windows store.

The Windows Store would always be from scratch for Android apps. This is just adding the apps from the Amazon store into the Windows Store.

What would be the reason to use android apps on windows besides them not being available on windows? What feature could an android app running on windows do that a windows application couldn't do?

[wvenable → SahAssar]

The only reason to run Android apps on Windows is because there aren't native Windows versions of these applications.

Then you see why I compare the current windows store to the amazon android store and not a hypothetical new windows android store.
