The keyword here is probably "extending". I am not aware of what it really means, but I wouldn't be surprised if MS tried everything it could to get more developers on its UWP. And keep them.
- youdontknowtho 10y agoIt just means using some API's that aren't available unless your app is well behaved. No admin access is the big one. Don't write to \Windows or Program Files. That kind of thing. It doesn't mean...whatever paranoid thing you think it means. Also, its a developer related thing. If you don't have a desktop app that you want to move to the store or bundle in an Appx package for distribution on the web, it doesn't mean anything to you.
