Surface sells a lot of devices.. a few billion dollars worth a year. THere are lots of tablets out there. Pretty silly to ignore them all and be willfully ignorant about it.
Sandboxing is a good thing, it protects systems from developers. It's why even on operational tooling, a lot of teams are moving to containers to "sandbox" apps through cgroups and contain them in a re-usable fashion.
A lot of win32 apps are even being packaged for the store so they too are sandboxed having the luxury of knowing what state your app is in at all times is an awesome thing thing to developers that care about knowing that state.
- WayneBro 10y agoI own multiple Windows tablets, so I'm certainly not being willfully ignorant. You're being willfully ignorant that A) anybody is buying them to use UWP apps. They're not. Microsoft's app store isn't doing shit compared to Apple's or Google's. And B) that the sales numbers are anything to cheer about. They're not. Last quarter Apple did 7 billion dollars in iPads vs Microsoft's 1 billion in Surface.
