Hmmm, maybe you're only familiar with the Visual Studio SDK's? The Azure SDK's aren't charged for access: https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/ https://azure.gith

The Azure SDK's aren't charged for access: https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/ https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/
The SDK's for modern MS products generally seem to be freely available. Maybe it's only their legacy offerings that have some charge to it?
If that's actually the distinction, then my guess is that it's simply "no cost access means higher numbers of developers using them" for the new stuff.
Whereas the legacy stuff probably would cause internal bun-fight's to happen if they changed their licensing model. ;)
- dagmx 2y agoHmm maybe you’re only familiar with their azure SDKs ;) What makes Windows not modern? The whole point of my comments is that different business eases have different funding. Azure is a separate business for Microsoft than windows development. I’m going to guess based on your range of comments that you’re primarily a devops and web developer and not a native app or game developer? Which leads back to my first response to you: I don’t think you’re actually familiar with developing things for distribution on either steam or an App Store.
- justinclift 2y agoOh come on. Just because something doesn't fit your narrative you can't suddenly change the goal posts. Azure is literally Microsoft.
