Some of the UI apps perhaps, but if you ripped out win32, I don't think you'd have a very usable machine left to log on to?

- KirinDave 11y agoThat's true, but only because there isn't a great story in UWP for underlying services. Non-sandboxed applications and services are not a sustainable strategy anymore.
- maxxxxx 11y agoI wonder how long they'll stick to UWP. In 2 years they probably have another cool next thing.
- gh-lfneu28 11y agoYeah, they dropped that .net thing in less than that .. oh wait
- maxxxxx 11y agoThey have abandoned WPF, Winforms and Silverlight. Not sure what happened to WinRT.
- Aleman360 11y agoWinRT got rebranded to UWP. WPF was XAML v1. Silverlight was XAML v2. UWP has XAML v3. Your skills are still applicable.
- maxxxxx 11y agoThere is a little more to it than XAML. Skills wise it's not too bad but I have looked into porting some WPF apps to WinRT a while ago and those frameworks looked very differently under the hood despite some superficial similarity. I still don't understand why they need to create all this framework churn. WPF could have been extended to what UWP is now in my opinion.
- Aleman360 11y agoXAML was reimplemented in C++ and now renders with DirectComposition instead of Milcore. It's much faster now and far more capable. You can also now use it with both native C++ and C# thanks to WinRT.
- treebeard901 11y agoWindows 10 without Win32 would be comparable to iOS. Eventual root access lost on your "PC" and a cut for Microsoft from the store.
