Microsoft introduced Windows 11 with support for Android apps

After weeks of leaks and teasers, Windows 11 has been announced. In Windows 11, Microsoft has made many big changes across the board. 

In terms of design, Microsoft has moved the Start button from the bottom left to the bottom centre. This change makes Windows 11 more like Mac OS and Chrome OS. The style has also changed. 

The tile layout inherited from Windows 8 has been deprecated in Windows 11. Users will now see a search bar at the top of the Start menu, and below it will be icons for user-pinned apps, along with links to suggested files. File suggestions in the Start menu will no longer be specific to a computer. 

It will be the same on all of the user's devices, such as the phone and other computers. The Start menu in Windows 11 is similar to the app launcher used on mobile devices. With the Snap Layouts feature introduced in Windows 11, users can better customize the Windows interface and can also select their own layouts from the pre-existing layouts. 

Microsoft has also made some changes to the Windows Store that are coming to Windows 10 and Windows 11. Now users can also install apps from the browser. For this, the browser will act as a mini version store to allow users to quickly install apps. Microsoft wants to increase revenue opportunities for its store developers. 

Microsoft says it's letting developers add their own commerce to the store and keep 100 percent of the revenue. Microsoft will not keep any of this revenue. Plus, developers can use Microsoft Commerce if they want, since 85 percent of the revenue goes to developers and 15 percent to Microsoft. The revolutionary change introduced in Microsoft Windows 11 is the inclusion of support for Android apps.

You will now be able to install Android apps on your computer from the Microsoft Stores. That means users don't need to use other cumbersome third-party software to run Android apps on PC. Support for Android apps on Windows is the result of a partnership with Intel. 

The main purpose of Intel Bridge technology is to allow Android applications to run on x86 devices. According to a statement, despite the partnership with Intel, this feature will work on AMD and ARM devices. It may be coming to other devices soon. It works on devices too. Windows 11 is faster than previous versions. Windows updates will now be 40 percent smaller and install faster. Microsoft claims that Windows 11 will also improve laptop battery life.
