"Hot on the heels of Microsoft easing up access to the Windows Phone OS are rumors of dual Windows / Android phones, able to boot into either OS.

The narrative so far is Android for personal use, Windows for BYOD to the office. I can see a company locking down a Windows Phone install so it can connect to Exchange and the company wifi but what would the two OSs share? Contacts and pictures? Would a bit of malware on one OS be isolated from the other?

It used to be that you would dual boot your Windows box with Linux, now that trend has reversed itself for your mobile. How far we have come."

    Ios has done all that active sync for years.

    We have an mdm to manage devices (ios and mac), push out software, update mail settings, update VPN connections etc.

    Microsoft should have bought out rim 5 years ago. Nobody wants windows on their phones
