    As a phone enthusiast, here's my perspective. I've got an LG G2 that I use daily, as well as a cheaper Lumia Windows Phone.

    I don't believe they are planning to scrap Windows Phone entirely. If anything, they seem to be ramping it up with additional features. They've already discussed several really cool cross overs between Windows 10 and new Windows phones. It would be much more likely to see what bogdan suggested.

    I....don't know exactly how well this will work out. While there's a number of apps that would work just fine (Mostly web-based, simple apps), I'm skeptical that more complicated apps would work in a sandbox type of environment. I think that as soon as you open up Windows Phones to all Android apps, Microsoft will be inundated with complaints of 'Appnamexyz isn't working. Windows phones are shit'. To avoid this, they'd have to curate a special Microsoft Appstore of Android apps...and that doesn't sound like a fantastic idea either.

    I'll put it this way - I'm glad I'm not in charge of that project!
