The effort to bring full Windows to old Windows Phones seems to be rolling along at a rather rapid pace, and the latest development should make the work a lot more relevant.We have previously seen hackers install Windows 8 RT (a now dead operating system) on a Lumia 640 XL, but today we have a very much living operating system, the recently introduced Windows 10 on ARM, running on a more recent and more powerful handset, the Lumia 950.The effort has of course been enabled by WPInteals, and according to Blaze_CW, has allowed him to install Windows 10.0.16299.15 for ARM on his handset.It remains to be seen if anything useful will come of this, but I am sure many of our readers either have a Lumia 950 in a drawer somewhere or are still actively using one, and would love to have access to the full power of desktop Windows 10.Keep an eye on the site for the latest developments in this exciting area., ...ادامه مطلب

Recently we reported that Microsoft has rolled out an update for Bing App on Android. The app brought a couple of changes including Better Map support. Reading this we decided to give it a shot and test what new features Microsoft had in store for us. To our surprise, the latest update made Bing app open the Google Maps website when searching for any destination, place or anything that involved location.This was strange considering the fact that Microsoft does have its own Maps service called as Bing Maps. What’s more surprising is the fact that Bing uses Bing Maps on web searches on the desktop but opens Google Maps when searched using Android App.To determine the exact cause of this, we checked the Bing Data Supplier list only to stumble upon the fact that mapping data from HERE was last updated in December 2016. Microsoft hasn’t added any data to Bing Maps in the last year. Microsoft did sign a deal with HERE back in 2016 to expand its reach to the connected car platform but we haven’t heard any news on the topic since then.This made us wonder if Microsoft might be planning to pull the plug on Bing Maps in the near future. This, of course, will make some sense considering the hi, ...ادامه مطلب
