All the people who worked on Windows 10 are no longer with Microsoft so the promise of Windows 10 being the last Windows is over. I would have thought they'd have 10.1 like Apple does. Windows 10 was like MacOSX for Microsoft.

Unfortunely Win32 did not went like Carbon, because the WinRT/UAP/UWP execution was a mess, and it still remains to be seen if Project Reunion will rescue any of that or just die in a couple of years, given the amount of WinUI issues and lack of roadmap for .NET Native, HoloLens and XBox. So better reboot Windows 11 as Windows 7 vNext, while pretending 8 - 10 never happened.

  .NET Native is effectively dead (critical fixes only) and the .NET team is focusing on NativeAOT instead. They’ve done a very poor job of communicating it but that’s what I’ve gathered from various MS employees.

    Yep, I am aware of the form factors design document. It is just pity that Microsoft has decided to take the usual approach on sensitive subjects, usually when certain technologies are heavily pushed and then abandoned (XNA, Silverlight, Bizztalk,...) they just stop talking about it, but never make any big annoucement that they are leaving it behind.
