When Motorola announced that its then flagship “Atrix” will run a portable version of Linux, powering a desktop experience, it was like the holy grail of convergence. Moore’s law certainly held true, for imagining that, someday, our phones could be as powerful as our PCs. Today, they almost are, so Microsoft is finally stepping forward to bring the desktop OS experience, powered by the same device in your pocket. At Build 2015, Microsoft was clear that Windows 10 wants to exist in devices of all sizes and types, especially now with the universal apps’ promise of “write once, deploy everywhere”. So, it only seems natural that this would happen, a single platform with the same code base, stretching across different screen sizes, with a responsive user interface for apps as well as the operating system.

Here’s a demo from Joe Belfiore –
