Many owners of mobile devices based on the Android operating system for sure at least once wanted to run a program or game that is available only for Windows. Unfortunately, this can not be done, but very soon the owners of absolutely all Android-smartphones will be able to run Windows 10. To do this, you will need special software that allows you to directly from Android to work with applications written for the operating system from Microsoft.

Wine project founder Alexander Juilliard at the WineConf 2017 conference said that Wine 3 software will be released very soon. 0, which will bring with it the support of the Android operating system. For reference, Wine is an open source project that has been running for twenty years now, running applications from Windows on computers running Linux and macOS (OS X earlier).

The basis of Wine 3. 0 will not be the operating system Windows XP, as it was before, but Windows 7. The developers intend to implement the full support of many different APIs, among which will be Direct3D and OpenGL. Owners of absolutely all smartphones and tablets based on Android will be able to run applications created for Windows 10. At the same time, such software will occupy a minimum of storage space, since its operation will require only separate components and drivers, and not the whole operating system as a whole.

The developers claim that they will try to release the final version of Wine 3.

0 before the end of this year, but if time is not enough, the new software to run Windows applications on all Android-devices will be available for free download to everyone in early 2018. After the release, the development team will implement the support for Direct3D 12 and Vulkan technologies, as well as the Wayland windows management protocol. All this will very soon become available for use on all modern mobile devices operating on the basis of the operating system from Google.
