The Android apps will run in a virtual machine, with support for voice, pen, and Bluetooth networking.
ARM binaries will run via an Intel bridge, but developers will ideally submit Universal APKs to the Store.
Microsoft has earlier revealed that apps will be supplied by the Amazon app store, which will be integrated with the Microsoft Store, but that only select apps will be made available.
