Comment on Microsoft to end its Android apps on Windows 11 subsystem in 2025

Comments

WSA seems to be at least partially open source (the Kernel is available), so hopefully there is enough of a community around it to continue development and support. This seems like bad news for the closed source components, though, like the interface.

I really enjoyed playing with WSA and thought it had great potential as a means to run archived mobile games and applications. It was far more seamless than using a development Android emulator, and the state of game-oriented Android emulators is disastrous.
