Microsoft killed its Windows Compatibility Website
It allows users to run a fully functional Windows 10 Mobile build on their device, but there’s a catch: the ROM is only available for the LTE-enabled variant of the device, which means that the Xiaomi Mi 4W which is widely used in many countries, including India, is not supported.
On the global front, MS is partnering with 33 brands across the world, including Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, HP, and Lenovo, which install Windows 10 on 80 devices.
Net Market Share recorded an increase of 1.06% in the month of November 2015 for a total usage share percentage of 9.00 for Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system.
In November, 56.1% of PCs on the Internet were running Windows 7, Net Applications reported Tuesday.
These figures are not exact and there is always some fluctuation, but they may reveal trends. However Windows 10 has cemented itself firmly in fourth place and is only a couple of points behind both Windows XP and Windows 8.1, both of which have approximately 11 percent of the global OS market.
The Windows 10 Mobile build that was just released is only for the 4G LTE version of the smartphone.
The latest mobile OS from Microsoft, the Windows 10 will be launched to flagship Xiaomi Mi4 on December 3 as Lin Bin, the Xiaomi Founder and President, has confirmed this information through its post on Weibo. It is unclear right now however how much of an impact the move will have on the operating system’s growth in the following months.
But, unlike Sony’s Remote Play app for devices like the Xperia Z5 or even the Xperia Z5 Premium, you can’t actually do this with the newly released Windows 10 smartphones.
