It's Arif: Apologies for the letter box'ed video as well as the poor audio. The letter box video is because I recorded on the Surface Pro 8, which has an odd screen resolution. The poor audio is due to having to manage the OBS studio volume, as well as the WSA volume when recording live. Everthing was cut together in one shot We'll do better next time!

I'm confused by Microsoft's decision to bring this to the Beta Channel first.
Usually Dev gets the new stuff first.

damn this audio must need a huge boost. Any chance for a reupload?

Windows Subsystem for Android just made the Surface Go devices a lot more useful, and Chrome OS tablets (that are being used to replace Android tablets) a lot less desirable.

You need to fix the audio. Can barely hear anything you say.

What problems did you have? Mine is saying incompatible but it meets all the requirements. I keep looking for solutions but all the videos/articles never touch on this.

Show us some decent apps not just games.
Can these android apps be put into the "hidden tray", are they headless when closed?
It's hilarious that I have to ask this for a 2021 OS because half of my task bar is email / IM / today app pins that have to be open to receive messages, and they can't be hidden...

Windows 10/11 has to be the heaviest ram OS' ive ever seen...
64gb ram computers are going to get popular...
