The point is that as an Android device it is nothing special, and is directly competing with the Samsung Fold and other upcoming folding Android devices, to which it pales in comparison. I am also willing to bet a ton of IT pros would love a device like this so that they had a Windows PC on hand wherever they went rather than having to find hack arounds with Android apps and RDP etc.Īgain, the Duo is not a mass-market device as it is, and it never will be, whether it's running Android or Windows.

You're literally describing the current Duo userbase, sans the developer crowd I mentioned earlier. It would only be appreciated by MS fans or people like yourself who are very clever and technical? W11 on Duo would be neither, given it would run standard W11 applications and Android apps, not to mention it could run full Linux which would be a boon for the developer crowd. It was poorly managed by Microsoft and was an additional niche platform to develop for. It can't do any worse than the Android-powered Duo is doing. I just don't want to see it crash and burn like Windows Phone did, that's all :( If you can't please everyone then you should at least deliver a unique and exceptional experience, which W11 on the Duo would do. So all of your arguments are moot in that case. It runs quite well despite only being a beta feature. That aside, which 'most people' are you talking about, anyway? Again, the Duo is already a niche device that 'most people' couldn't care less about.Īnd yes, whilst Windows 11 can run Android (how well though?) Most people would expect a Duo running Windows 11 to have the same apps as Android.
