In its attempt to expand their application to all ecosystems and device manufacturers, Microsoft is reaching different agreements with various manufacturers of devices to be able to preinstall Skype and Office applications. The last agreement that has just been signed is the manufacturer Xiaomi, the largest manufacturer of devices in China, both in smartphones as in tablets.

The announcement of this agreement is done through Twitter by count Hugo Barra and the Microsoft Press Department.  In addition to Vice President of Xiaomi has made the following declarations:

We are very pleased to be working closely with Microsoft in this technological collaboration.
