   It uses the Play Store? I assumed it would use the same mechanic as the   
   base system. (Then again I haven't been able to use Android in a while)

   Good ol' plug and play. Windows has been doing it since the 90s

   Is there a gmail or youtube app for Windows? Also yeah, those are   
   completely separate from the base OS (unless you have a google phone) so   
   slightly a given. Still get what you're saying tho

   So, like the updates are forced into one package instead of having   
   separated updates that are just installed at the same time?
