Cyanogen will release an alternative version of Android with pre-installed applications from Microsoft
Cyanogen , the developer of the popular Android firmware CyanogenMod, has announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft. This will enable the inclusion of Microsoft applications and services in CyanogenMod, which will serve as an alternative to similar Google services.
Initially, it was a search for an investor for Cyanogen, as reported by The Wall Street Journal and The Information a few months ago. But the partnership turned out to be a more profitable solution for both companies. Microsoft will support a startup in the fight against Google. And Cyanogen, in turn, will provide a new opportunity for the distribution of Microsoft mobile services.
Now mobile devices running Cyanogen OS will be sold with pre-installed applications Bing, Skype, OneDrive, OneNote and Microsoft Office.
