Microsoft continues to bet on developers and on the creation of apps for Windows 10. The latest from Microsoft in this sector has been the free launch of virtual machines with Windows 10 and all the necessary tools to program apps for WindowsEither they are universal apps or apps that come from iOS or Android.
These virtual machines are free as well as the Windows 10 they have, but in one case we have to have a Windows 10 license and another of them will only have a trial version of Windows 10 that expires after 30 days.
En virtual machines, in addition to finding Windows 10, we will find everything you need to create apps for Microsoft environments. This means that we will have Visual Studio, all tools to program .Net and most importantly, the latest tools to port Android and iOS apps to Windows 10 Mobile.
This makes virtual machine files occupy more than 20 Gb, something that could be alleviated if we installed the tools ourselves, but the virtual machine has all the necessary configuration to avoid any problem when compiling and programming new apps.
Microsoft users too they will find the Ubuntu bash enabled in their operating system so they can create even the most basic programming script. And the Ubuntu bash will not be the only free tool that these virtual machines have. Microsoft continues with its policy of love for Linux and will not only distribute virtual machines in the main virtualization systems but there will also be a version for VirtualBox.
I personally think these solutions are great tools to develop apps, which makes me not understand why there are still not as many apps for Windows 10 Mobile as there are for iOS or Android What do you think?
