According to the website of Google's new app, Smart Lock, the Nexus 6 can run Windows Phone and Android, will the device really have dual-boot or was it an image error?

Smart Lock is a new function that came in Android Lollipop and promises to eliminate the use of PINs and passwords to keep your smartphone safe. Smart lock uses some signals to detect whether the environment is safe or not and thus automatically locks or unlocks the device using factors such as your home location, a device android wear such as LG G watch R on your arm and connected to your smartphone and even your voice.  

The function is so important and innovative that it deserved a page dedicated to explaining it, Google he just didn't notice that in one of the images he let out a Nexus 6 running Windows Phone! oops. The image was discovered, again, by users of the Reddit forum, these people do not sleep?

Who use Windows Phone know the staunch boycott that the platform suffers from Google, the platform only has one official app, which is the search engine and is more limited than the browser search, in addition, the official app of Youtube has been deleted and replaced with a shortcut to the browser version and the difference in the interfaces of its web services is stark. gmail, Google + and others have an interface that goes back to the 2000s, if used in a Windows Phone.

Knowing this I can only imagine two scenarios: The Google made peace with ecosystem and will adopt the Windows Phone on its model smartphone, encouraging manufacturers to do the same, as this could become a trend, as shown the patent that Samsung, which turns cell phones Android on laptops Windows. Or it was a prank by some troll designer who wanted to make fun and generate buzz on the subject or by some inattentive person who has already lost his job by now. Just waiting to see...

O Google already changed the image on the site for one with the Nexus 6 running Android Lollipop, but you, what do you think of this story?
