Win10 latest feature exposure will support NFC payment function

Upgrading from Windows Phone 8 to Windows 10, the amount of engineering tasks Microsoft faces seems to be more onerous than originally thought. Especially in the development of the functions of the mobile operating system, it has more requirements than the desktop system. For example, the desktop operating system does not integrate local contacts, calendars, camera applications and wallets, and the mobile terminal needs to be satisfied one by one. Constantly innovating. Of course, the current popular NFC near-field payment function is no exception, and Windows 10 is to improve function development.

However, with Windows 10 unifying mobile, tablet and desktop operating systems, this means that the new system will face higher functional requirements and implementations, while the original Windows Phone 8 system Some of the features and features we are accustomed to will need to be redesigned and developed on Windows 10.

With the NFC payment function as an example, the Microsoft software development and testing department is hiring a senior software engineer and plans to develop an NFC payment solution that supports all of its devices, which means that Microsoft will be NFC on the WP 8.1 platform. Based on technology, a new payment function has been developed for Windows 10.

The new desktop version of Windows 10 will be a more open platform environment, which will inevitably bring more new security challenges, which means that simply porting code from Windows Phone 8.1 is far away. not enough.

From the perspective of Microsoft's new recruitment information, it is a good thing to introduce new features across devices, but the worrying aspect is that, based on the vast workload requirements, and taking into account the development schedule, Perhaps the features on the mobile version of Windows 10 may not be as good as the Windows Phone 8.1 platform, or the release of a new operating system may be delayed. So, the most basic challenge for Microsoft is that it needs to work hard to ensure that Windows Phone 10 can be released as scheduled.
