Windows 10 will be able to display Android notifications from your phone

At the Microsoft Build event, no big announcements were made. Probably thanks to some much more exciting news from Tesla, it went under the radar entirely. Windows 10 users will even be able to reply to the Android notifications directly from a PC.

Although that's still the plan, rumor has it that Microsoft continues to look at interactive live tile as a possible Windows 10 feature in the coming updates, but the company needs to improve the concept before promising anything.

Timing on the Android feature is now unclear as Microsoft has just said it will be for a "future version of Windows".

Referring to Weaver in a televised town hall this week, Kasich said, "He gets a little tweet happy and I don't like that". The delegate math in the Republican race is beginning to narrow for front-runner Donald Trump , a UPI analysis shows .

The company described Windows 10 as an "operating system as a service" that would receive ongoing updates to its features and functionality.

"As an industry, we are on the cusp of a new frontier that pairs the power of natural human language with advanced machine intelligence", Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in his keynote address to thousands of developers at Build 2016.

On the flip side, its unlikely many Android users are going to want that many notifications when trying to work, so it'll be all about striking the balance between which apps Android users will allow Cortana to access. Microsoft has really shown solid improvements to Windows 10, but mobile efforts remain small compared to the iOS or Android platforms.

However, the Cortana Developer Preview is available now, so that developers can get started working with the new features. This functionality will work for Windows 10 Mobile devices too, but Microsoft won't be bringing this to the iPhone.

Microsoft has also continuously updated Cortana.

It seems Microsoft is not yet done with its news for Windows 10, as in one of the sessions in the three-day conference, the company revealed that the operating system will soon be able to display Android notifications. The Redmond-based company has introduced a brand new feature called Linux subsystems. Nadella's response was that Microsoft is encouraging developers to make universal apps that will run on PC, mobile, and Xbox One. Dismissing a notification on your phone, will dismiss that same notification on your PC and vice versa.

"Web developers, including American Express, BBC Sport, Yahoo Mail, zulily and more, have seen great success with Windows 10 Hosted Web Apps".
