However, as a team that has been working in Android emulation for the better part of a decade, we recognize and applaud Microsoft’s efforts, but also suggest tempering expectations-this might not be as easy as people think it is! Here at BlueStacks, we’re always looking for the next best thing regarding technological breakthroughs, and advances such as the ones Microsoft is striving for are definitely ambitious and could provide a lot of value to the end user, as well as to the teams who work tirelessly to develop and launch apps and games.
