BlueStacks import Android apps to Surface Pro

BlueStacks allowing users run Android apps on Microsoft’s Windows 8 and Surface Pro.
BlueStacks publicized the accessibility of its Android “App Player” for the Surface Pro tablet and other Windows 8 devices. CNET reports that with BlueStacks, customers can now run 750,000+ Android applications on their Windows computers, which are a big leap up from the some 40,000 apps currently available in the Windows 8 app store.

Today’s release of the App Player for Surface Pro is the first time the BlueStacks software has been supported on the Windows 8 operating system – and it comes at acute time for Microsoft, whose Surface devices are suffering from futile sales, amidst odd reports of customer comeback and sold out inventories.

The BlueStacks Android App Player is free to download and available now on the company’s website.

I assume it is the same thing I installed in my Windows 7 system in September. If so then BlueStacks has been available for a few months for Windows 7. It is actually a vitual machine that runs Android applications. I do not like it because I have difficulty using the mouse like I do for Windows applications and I do not have a touch screen. Android apparently does not support anything like tooltips and other things like that, that really help for learning about Android applications. I think that if they can do a little bit more to make them (Android applications) more compatible with the Wiindows Desktop then they will be much more useful.
