A Chinese startup has created the project WindowsAndroid, which aims to create a version of the popular Google operating system that runs natively, without leaning to the Linux kernel on Windows.
Android, the mobile operating system Google weblog, is depopulated for several years on the smartphone market, exceeding even iOS in overall prevalence worldwide and acting as a real leader in the industry.
Microsoft, for its part, is trying to fight back, albeit with a significant delay, with Windows Phone, Mobile OS alternative to the green robot with version 8 has brought many innovations, especially in Windows 8, the new version of the main Redmond product is dedicated to the world of traditional PCs, especially, that of the tablet.
But despite all the efforts of the house of CEO Steve Ballmer, Big G continues to remain the dominant force in the industry, after Apple, with sales increasing number of various "Googlefonini."
One of the main problems of 8 is definitely the lack of dedicated applications in the store: despite exceed 200,000 units, a number of basic apps, such as YouTube, Google Maps, Facebook, etc.., Are still missing, making the spread of various tablets based on this system very difficult. Same situation, albeit less severe, Windows Phone 8.
How to do? A Chinese startup, the Socketq, has developed a solution which may partly stem this problem, although obviously not the best solution. What is it actually? We are talking about the project WindowsAndroid, which allows you to have a copy of Google's operating system that is based natively on the Windows kernel instead of the traditional Linux kernel for the execution of various applications and of the system itself.
The project is certainly ambitious, will therefore be able to run Android apps natively on Windows, obviously taking advantage of OpenGL, without any virtual machine that translates the instructions to be executed on the system kernel in Redmond.
Once installed, there will be a window with the typical Android interface from which you can use all the typical applications of this system, with a very wide range of resolutions available (1200x800 pixels from the apps will run in trial mode tablet), including full screen mode.
At the moment the latest version, of course experimental, fitted version 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwitch system of Big G, but is scheduled for next month a new update that will bring Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on WindowsAndroid.
To download you can go to this link, but be warned: the Google Apps should be installed by hand as a cooked ROM, you can download from here.
Below we publish the video presentation of the project:

Surely this is a very ambitious project: working to bring Android natively on Windows, based on a kernel totally different from that used by the SW of Big G, is very important and must have cost a huge amount of time really and money to the manufacturer.
On the other hand, I do not see a genuinely useful in WindowsAndroid: although it is running natively, it is always necessary a separate window from the Windows to run applications, making it in effect a sort of virtual machine separate from host OS.
Sincerely procederei more in the direction of bringing the various apps natively in the store Windows, without perform operations of this kind to obtain a kind of "hybrid".
We'll still see how the project will proceed.
