The Windows thing is only for Samsung's latest phones.

Only supports some Samsung models, not Android in general.

Couple of interesting observations.

1. Audio streaming is not currently supported. I wonder if that is a design feature, or a temporary technical limitation? If so it certainly limits the range of applications.

2. They show Netflix, but anyone who is required to implement standard DRM schemes will likely need to block this functionality from their apps to keep legal teams & licensees happy.

3. It appears that clicks are not translated into touch events. Curious if this will cause some strange behavior or mostly "just work" like iOS simulator.

Seems neat, but leaves me really scratching my head to figure out the "killer app" for this.

"Tap into the power of Your Phone app with Link to Windows integration on select Samsung devices to instantly access your phone’s mobile apps directly from your Windows 10 PC."

I wonder if you could create the feature using a emulated android phone... that would be cool!

That's NOT something new. It's called Link to Windows and it's a service provided by Samsung about a year now.
