There's a reason behind every move in the business arena these days and that's very much the same for tech sector as well. First, Microsoft buys Nokia, why, because they want to compete in an Apple-like ecosystem (wherein hardware and software are governed by them).
Lenovo buys Motorola and most recently, Microsoft invested its software-earned money into a company which is looking to take over Android duties from Google over the foreseeable future. It's none other than Cyanogen who has now decided to put Microsoft's apps on the devices running on its custom build. In simple terms, the OnePlus One and Yu devices (for starters) will get bestowed with services like Bing, Outlook and Office among others pretty soon.
"Microsoft and Cyanogen Inc have announced a partnership to bring Microsoft applications to Cyanogen OS."Under the partnership, Cyanogen will integrate and distribute Microsoft's consumer apps and services across core categories, including productivity, messaging, utilities, and cloud-based services. As part of this collaboration, Microsoft will create native integration on Cyanogen OS, enabling a powerful new class of experiences," the statement which confirms this anti-Google development.
Cyanogen has openly confessed its mission to make Android, as open source (and away from shackles of Google) as possible in the coming years and it's easy to see the Microsoft-Cyanogen deal being start of really big things to come.
Will users be comfortable with the move to bring Microsoft apps aboard their Cyanogen devices pre-loaded to them? Or will they make a convincing case for Google to retain their rights on the most popular mobile in the hemisphere.
Will you like a OnePlus One with Bing as default search? Do share your thoughts on that and much more.
