Cyanogen has revealed (http://www.forwardgeek.com/article/Cyanogen-Announces-Strategic-Partnership-With-Microsoft-20150416) that it will pre-install Microsoft apps on its modded Android OS later this year, including Bing, Skype, OneDrive, OneNote, Outlook and Microsoft Office. The news doesn't come as a huge surprise, since it was rumored (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/29/microsoft-is-reportedly-investing-in-cyanogens-custom-android-m/) that Redmond had purchased a minority stake in Cyanogen with the express intention of bundling its software. As part of the deal, Microsoft will also create "native integrations" on Cyanogen OS, presumably to make all its apps play well together. Microsoft has avoided porting its productivity software over to Android and iOS for quite awhile, but finally made the jump earlier this year (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/29/microsoft-outlook-app-ios-android/).
