It's WinRT via .net/C++/js for future apps. Everything else is legacy supported.
- douche 10y agoIs anybody actually building Universal apps, though? I just don't see any of the desktop apps with massive existing code bases jumping ship anytime soon, if ever.
- UK-AL 10y agoWell Microsoft have released Desktop App Converter, where you can distribute Win32 apps on the store. And allows access to universal app apis, so you can gradually transition.
- 0x0 10y agoUntil that also becomes legacy because there's a new hot API on the block ;)
- mwcampbell 10y agoAnd what if I need to continue to support users who are running Windows 7?
- UK-AL 10y agoDoesn't mean it's not legacy
- maxxxxx 10y agoJust wait until they change their mind again.
- nycticorax 10y agoIs there any evidence that desktop users want UWP applications? Given the reception of Windows 8 and MS's subsequent backtracking with Windows 10, it seems like most desktop users prefer traditional winapi applications.
