After purchasing the Nokia Microsoft faced with the problem of device fragmentation . It is not just about smartphones and tablets, but also desktop solutions . In order to somehow reconcile the device, operating under the same version of Windows, the company decided to expected, but rather a radical step.

Such a scenario seems logical enough, but the technical implementation raises questions.
