Although WP's mobile phone has never been regarded as a smart phone Windows 10 Mobile join Continuum After the function, it finally aroused everyone's expectations for it. The Continuum function enables Windows 10 Mobile phones to display the traditional PC interface when accessing the display device. When connecting the monitor, keyboard and mouse, it can be used as a "PC host". Office, mobile and entertainment can be completed with a single phone.

The obvious feature is the notice bar at the top

However, the current Continuum function has many limitations. It can only run the general application of Windows Store (the former metro application). The number and quality of the latter are quite worrying, which directly limits the practical value of this function.

But recent news shows that Microsoft is trying to let Windows 10 Mobile run win32 programs (traditional PC software). Project Centennial, which was introduced at Microsoft's BUILD 2015 developer conference, includes the content of bringing Win32 applications to the Windows 10 Mobile platform. Today, Ginny Caughney said on Twitter that Microsoft's Kevin Gallo mentioned the plan again at the Connect 2015 conference, but did not disclose more details.

Ubuntu mobile phones used to have such a scene, but unfortunately the plan failed

If the plan succeeds, it will break the barrier between ARM and X86 again, just like Android did. It's a little exciting to think that a mobile phone can run real PC software and become a real PC host in the future.

However, reason and previous experience still tell us that we should treat this possibility rationally. Just like the previous first generation X86 processor running Android will have serious operating efficiency problems. If the ARM processor's mobile phone runs win32 software, it may also encounter serious performance problems. However, this may break the current situation of mobile phone performance overflow, and there is not enough performance (squint).
