Microsoft has officially announced the closure of its Project Astoria software tool that was originally announced last year. The tool was originally introduced by the software giant as a way for developers to port existing Android apps to the new Windows 10 platform by utilizing the same codebase of the existing apps.

The additional metadata then seems to suggest that Microsoft is planning on solving this problem by introducing its own SIM-card that can be used and paid for through a Microsoft account on a branded Microsoft device.
The extremely popular Short Message Service (SMS), or text messaging as it's more commonly known, has been one of the most popular methods of instant communication since it became commonplace in the mid-1990s.

That figure may now be in decline thanks to instant messaging tools like WhatsApp, but it's still an extremely popular form of communication. It seems that Microsoft has recognized that importance, and will look to provide users with the functionality in Windows 10 to be able to send texts directly from a PC to a phone.
