Gates-Ballmer-Nadella era. Ballmer was definitely the worst. https://imgur.com/a/Cp4jJDv

Would Google consider using Play Ready on Windows instead of Widevine? Widevine perf is worse on WIndows, because it's all software frame decoding, and because of that, doesn't support 1080p or 4k Netflix videos on Windows. Edge

They can't open-source UWP because it's basically a Windows thing. It's based on WinRT, which is based on COM.

You are saying like if almost 1 billion of WIndows 10 users aren't huge installed base?

They are moving Skype4business to Teams anyway.

It's more related with "We won't touch Classic Desktops (Win32), because it's basically deprecated". They update the inbox UWP apps almost every day.

The thing is, they created the name when Zune was already dead lol

I guess this would be a nice solution. Yes or no, and then create a percentage. Just like Netflix and some services. So let's say, if you have less than 30% or something like that, you get out of Uber. And if you have more than 85%, y

They don't do it for a long time, because that means they will have to KILL support for TVs, Xbox and laptops that already have 4k support. They just use hardware deciding (because of DRM).

Heh, is not that easy. The reason is simple: high resolution. iirc, for example, Netflix uses h.265 for 2k+ resolutions. They don't even allow 2k+ on hardware that do not have h.265 hardware decoder for that reason. YouTube 4k also ju

They actually 'fixed' this on latest builds.

In some markets, it's considered original content. Just like Designated Survivor, Riverdale it's considered original content too (in some countries, it may not be. Here in Brazil Riverdale it's exclusive to Warner Channel for

Yeah, it's more like a marketing/sales recommendation, and I guess it works for general people.

Always found that interesting in Europe. In Brazil, you don't pay for "public-broadcast" (as we call here, open TV). But could you tell me more about private channels on public TV?

I tried Chrome Canary, Firefox Nightly and Edge. Edge was the fastest here! But I believe they are using streaming compilation already.

I think you can do the other way, too! A UWP app, + Win32 project app with service, full trust capabilities declared on manifest of this project then.

The same thing happens on UWP. People see XAML and thing that UWP is just that.

by vitorgrs 9y ago
You can distribute UWP services on Server, tho! I believe it's just a matter of time when it comes to Desktop, they are just being extremely cautious to implement on the right way.

Microsoft it's already working on Xamarin.Forms for Linux.

They are not moving away from XAML to Composition. Composition will be just a "backend" for XAML. Some XAML controls already use Composition and you don't even notice it.
