Today Microsoft has introduced Windows 10 We shall not dwell on the details of this new operating system, but it is interesting to discuss a bit about the strategy they have shown. A single system for both desktop and mobile. Why did Google not long ago the same with Chrome OS?
The importance of technology in the smartphone ecosystem is crucial. The big three; Microsoft, Apple and Google have different approaches. What is the best idea? What strategy will prevail?
Windows 10 style, an OS for all gobernarlos
There is an important detail to understand Windows 10 will not be available until the end of 2015, a date that Intel processors have a small enough consumption and to compete against ARM. It is also expected that at that time, operating systems already in wearables, televisions and other products.
Microsoft succeeds at stake everything on one card, in fact we have no choice. With another Windows 10 that have rejected the idea of building a fully touch-control oriented system. Returns the start menu, but forget Windows Phone.

Multitasking is one of the most difficult aspects to adapt to small screens, because while we have windows on the desktop, as smartphones have apps that fill the entire screen. More dilemmas, adapt complex programs like Photoshop or Crysis style games for mobile, for that Microsoft invented its own app store, yes whose level is far from my normal PC.
Maintaining two separate systems, Cupertino style
Apple OS maintains two distinct but synergies. They have resisted creating a twelve-inch tablet or Macbook with iOS. But since his last release, Yosemite, we saw some details of one another, mostly related to the design.
What is the role of the smartphone in the Apple ecosystem? Basically functions as generating connections, unlock, payments ... designed for the smaller size of mobile services. The notebook is focused on Office automation tasks or job creation.In fact, if we add Apple TV and Watch, we still have two additional operating systems. Apple unlike Microsoft does not need to unify their systems, success was achieved through interest generated by the devices themselves. And developers do not seem to have trouble re-creating apps for each of them.
Can and should escritorizarse Android, or GoogleChomizarse?
We got the system we want. Why Wear introduced an Android TV and Auto but not a Android Desktop? Here the Mountain View play a mix of strategies. On the one hand a unified for all supplementary and a separate system based on Chrome.The mobile is what has made other system changes and have caused the desktop OS mutate towards them. Should Android escritorizarse and adapt to laptops and big screen? Or why should GoogleChromizarse against and merge your apps with Chrome? So far, all indications are betting on the second option.
The future of operating systems in our opinion should undergo a brain core smartphone as ecosystem and all the gadgets you have at home in the body bound to him and controlled from him. A refrigerator with its own system but controlled in Android, a television with its own system but operated from mobile, home and away from the Nest linked to smartphone. And why not, the PadFone portable style, where the mobile acts of heart and the laptop is only housing, keypad, display and an extra battery.
Get home and engage the mobile dock, dining out and going to the TV to handle. And to get to the office and insert it into the laptop that suits the interface itself. Material Design Something that should not be a problem. Monetization for Google's Android and Google Play, not Chrome. Another thing is Microsoft, because its appstore has generated other benefits.
What do you think the future holds for the convergence of operating systems? Is the mobile will become the hub?
