While i don't believe a word Sweeney says until he sources his claims, your post has a few self delusions as well. > Microsoft introduced many platforms since Vista - WPF, Silverlight, XNA, Win8 Apps (Windows XAML and WinJS), and UWP. I'm sure there are more :) Even with all of those new platforms in the mix, Win32 is still alive and well. Not "Even with". More like "thanks to this chaos and the uselessness of those platforms". > I believe UWP is a huge win for developers. Without specifying which developers, that is meaningless. Last i heard a game dev can't even control vsync. > The developer community needs to speak up if they want something. Microsoft will listen. This is the worst part. Speak up WHERE? Speak up HOW? "Listening" is not "reacting when a blogpost gets reposted everywhere". Listening is taking the time and place out of your day to make sure that the person has your undivided attention.
