- pjmlp 7y agoThose new APIs are based on UWP, and being called WinUI, basically Microsoft has been decoupling UWP from the store. They still are the same COM based APIs from UWP, just now fully rewritten in C++, because they also want the buy-in from C++ devs attached to MFC. The article authors should spend some time watching BUILD 2019. I am yet to find someone from anti-UWP crowd that actually grasps what UWP is all about.
