Beijing-based internet company Qihoo 360 and Shenzhen-based internet company Tencent have halted downloads of Windows 10 from their websites, as Chinese users have reported problems using the newly launched OS. The Windows Dev Center is open for business to accept Windows 10 app submissions for PC and mobile apps and soon for IoT, console and holographic offerings.

According to a new rumor (via GSMArena), Xiaomi is reportedly working on a new Windows 10 tablet which will see the light of the day by the end of the third quarter. So even if previously only a small number of users were able to test Windows 10 Mobile on their Android devices, it appears that Microsoft wants to give anyone with a Xiaomi device the chance to test out Windows 10 Mobile.
“I think the new Windows could look a lot different in China compared to those for other markets as we work to understand and meet the unique needs of Chinese users through several updates going forward”, Shum added.
Windows 10 Mobile on Android devices?
This program will certainly be extremely useful if you’re an Android user who is entertaining the idea of switching to the Windows platform. On the software front, the tablet runs on MIUI 6.

The companies said they will restart downloads after Microsoft has fixed problems with the OS experienced by Chinese users. “Windows 10 can leverage their closer ties with users to reach out more consumers”, Shum said.
