Bing is headed to Cyanogen operating system following strategic partnership with Microsoft

After months of rumors, it's finally happening: Mobile operating system maker Cyanogen has announced a strategic partnership with rival operating system maker Microsoft.
"People around the world use Cyanogen's operating system and popular Microsoft services to engage with what matters most to them on their mobile devices," said Kirt McMaster, CEO of Cyanogen Inc. "This exciting partnership with Microsoft will enable us to bring new kinds of integrated services to mobile users in markets around the world."

Cyanogen says that under the deal "Cyanogen will integrate and distribute Microsoft's consumer apps and services across core categories, including productivity, messaging, utilities, and cloud-based services." Each of the apps and services will be natively integrated.

Among the services listed are Bing, Bing Maps, Skype, OneDrive, OneNote, Outlook, and Microsoft Office.
