For the uninitiated, Phoenix OS is an operating system designed to run Android applications on desktop hardware (PCs and Laptops). Unlike a standard emulator that runs inside a window on Windows, Phoenix OS is a standalone OS (though it can be installed via Windows) that offers a true desktop experience.

It features a "Start Menu" style launcher, a taskbar, and windowed multitasking capabilities that make Android apps feel native to the mouse-and-keyboard workflow.
