MI fans will be able to get a taste of Windows

As announced a few hours ago, Microsoft has confirmed a partnership it set up with Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi.

According to the Redmond-based company, Windows 10 will be available to owners of the Xiaomi Mi 4 smartphone.

Thus, users will be able to enjoy the perks of the new operating system without actually purchasing a brand new Windows phone.

Earlier today, Microsoft said that a group of Xiaomi M 4 power users would receive invitations to help test Windows 10 and offer their feedback for its future release later this year.

The select elite will be able to install Windows 10 Technical Preview on their devices and contribute with their ideas and bug reporting to the full development of the OS.

But luckily, it seems that things are not going to be so constricted after all. On the official MIUI forums, Xiaomi has just announced that the company will be releasing the ROM pack in question on the forum soon enough. So you'd better keep your eyes open and on the lookout.

While we wait for Windows 10 to arrive on the Mi 4, you’re invited to try installing Android 5.1.0 by Ivan if you want to have a taste of stock Android (for the time being).
