A recent trend is taking on where different OS developers
are coming up together so to deal with market position of a stronger rival.
Microsoft has its share of cherry in the cake (Microsoft Windows Phone) while
Cyanogen is busy, trying to earn a slice.
Cyanogen, a mod version of Android wants to take Android
from Google. It doesn’t rely any of Google services or Play Store. The model is
impacting significantly in chines markets with no Google Play for their Android
devices.
The two companies have finally announced their partnership
on Thursday, which will bring Microsoft’s apps preloaded on Cyanogen but with
an option to remove them. Microsoft will be making custom versions of their
productivity apps like Office, Skype, and Bing ET. Al., the way Microsoft has
done it for Amazon’s Fire OS.
“Given the
complexity of handset manufacturers, distribution methods, and carriers, there
is more than one way MSFT apps can show up, Cyanogen is predicated on user
choice with an open operating system that is bringing best in class products
and services to consumers. MSFT apps will be surfaced contextually and will
always be downloadable”, representative, Cyanogen Inc.
