When Microsoft announced Windows 11, it didn’t mention anything about how it wanted to annoy users with a less functional taskbar, but it did talk quite a bit about how its new operating system would feature support for Android apps. It quickly became clear, though, that the first version, which went out only a few weeks ago, wouldn’t actually support Android apps. Now, however, Microsoft — in partnership with Amazon and its app store — is bringing a small subset of about 50 Android apps to the Windows 11 Insider Program.

If you’re on the beta build (not the dev build, because that’s on a different development cycle), you can now try apps like Amazon’s own Kindle app, The Washington Post app, Clash of Kings, Coin Master and Lego Duplo World.
