Microsoft’s Project Astoria is for porting popular Android apps and games over Windows 10 for phones. It will allow android apps to function on windows. Windows mobile will include an Android runtime layer that will let them run existing Android apps (both Java and C++) unmodified. Astoria will work with any old APK, without requiring any extra efforts from developers, but directly publish the app in the store. Moreover, it will also provide some integration points with Windows so that Android apps, with little modifications, support features such as Cortana.
