They called it Project Astoria.
Gotcha. That's not what this Surface Duo is doing. And frankly, I'd RATHER run a "view" of my Android phone app on my Windows computer than run an emulator. I'm sure there's a lot less resources needed.

I know that running a remote desktop session to my Windows laptop takes a lot less resources than running Windows via an emulator on my Mac.
