For those who’re not aware, Remix OS is a forked version of Android that can run practically on any PC. Essentially, it transforms Android into a desktop operating system, complete with a start menu, taskbar and notification area. Remix OS feels more like Windows and other desktop operating system. It is to be noted that Remix OS doesn’t support the Play store, meaning you won’t be able to runs apps on the tablet.The operating system has been created by Jide Technology, a company founded by a trio of ex-Google engineers.
“The next billion people coming online for the first time will be in emerging markets like India using Android smartphones. As they move from being consumers of content to building, editing and creating for work, they will want to use their familiar Android app ecosystem with a true desktop experience for business, education and home entertainment”, David Ko, Co-Founder, Jide Technology, said in a statement.
