I'm not worried. Strong API backwards compatibility is one of (if not the greatest) Windows moat. Microsoft risks their market dominance if they begin fucking with that. Especially with regards to business use cases.
- pjmlp 11mo agoI assume you never had to deal with the WinRT mess, Windows time on that front has been better.
- phendrenad2 11mo agoWinRT? You're the only one who even remembers it.
- pjmlp 11mo agoNot really, otherwise Microsoft wouldn't keep pushing WinAppSDK and WinUI, however I do agree it doesn't get much love, after all the mess, including not taking backwards compatibility into account every single time they rebooted the developer experience since Windows 8. In case you missed the memo, WinRT last reboot was to make it work on Win32 side, and more recent COM APIs are mostly WinRT variants.
