Windroid: The eventual "Windofication" of Android

Please read this first; it's an article from Android Authority that is a pretty interesting read and is the basis for my article.

Now, Microsoft is a well know computer company that also has a mobile division that is primarily headed by Nokia. The majority of their phones run a modified version of Windows 8 called "Windows Phone 8". Here's what it looks like:

Interesting, non?

Overall, Windows Phone 8 tends to be pushed aside by many users and for good reason. It says Windows and it looks like Windows, but for the most part it is far from being Windows. App support is virtually limited and many apps that iOS and Android users enjoy fail to show up for the fledging OS. Though Windows Phone 8 is far from bad, it doesn't have the staying power that iOS and Android has.

Which is why I believe Microsoft might just start OK'ing Android phones; not to admit that Windows Phone 8 is a failure, but to take the fire away from Android in general.

Have you heard of the Nokia Normandy? If not then you should know that this  range phone has Android built in....but it looks like this:

Looks familiar, non?

This my friends looks very much like the metro, square-y design of Windows 8, and I believe this was done on purpose. This is the beginning of "Windroid"; Microsoft's attempt to get a squeeze at Android's popularity by pissing on Android in the process. This is done by over-complicating Android in general and stuffing it with unwanted material (ie Windows apps and software) I mean....I though Samsung's version of Android was sin enough, this basically is a +100000000000000 on the sin factor.

The phone isn't out yet, so I have no idea how this device will perform with the OS underneath, but honestly from what I'm seeing, everything about it screams "WINDOWSWINDOWSWINDOWS"; hence why it's not really Android, but Windroid.

And I have a feeling this won't be the last time we see Windroid.

Microsoft has a tendency to jump on the bandwagon of popular trends and they might just start pushing trickles of Windroid phones to try and steal away the sweet sugar of stock and other OEM versions of Android. Will they succeed?
