I rewrote the MIDL compiler for WinRT from scratch. 2.5x faster. Full LSP. Extensions for VS Code and Visual Studio. I wanted better tooling for my own workflow and for every Windows dev's, so I built it.

@Chris123NT Windows 10 is better in this regard, at least we have C++/WinRT and no need for the stupid developer license.

What kind of fucking delusion is this guy living in? Most open operating system my ass LOL. Windows 8 development was more open than whatever is going on now, at least they actually read bug reports instead of shipping broken shit every month that was reported weeks in advance.

Made a VS extension that adds XAML Designer support for modern UWP .NET 9+ projects github.com/ahmed605/Moder…

@never_released This might be the reason I switch to Mediatek for my next phone lol...

ah Qualcomm can't wait until the move away from Gunyah is done across the board on client Looks like the future of Gunyah is automotive and some other misc stuff only (and perhaps realms)

Seems like a lot of people still loves Windows 7... Imagine RedPill still exists today and you can turn it off in Windows 11...

pre-80xx builds pretty much uses the stock Aero style from Silverlight/WPF. Going further back things are even more broken (see 7963 where the button's content does not render).

The same tricks still works on 8102, not sure about later builds.

Bonus: since this is just a normal EXE with no AppContainer flag nonsense, you can just run it. And this is what happens when you run it...

Two glcnd? well one is different with the other...

This is what MessageDialog looks like at this stage.

The Windows App for Windows now supports connecting to Windows PCs directly 👇 $RegPath = "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsApp\Flights" New-Item -Path $RegPath -Force -EA SilentlyContinue New-ItemProperty -Path $RegPath -Name "PeerToPeerConnectionsEnabled" -Value 1 -Force

Microsoft needs to bring back annual Windows events. I think it's important for tech companies to have a predictable moment in the year that everyone knows will be when we learn about what's next for these platforms. Every year, without fail, Google will unveil the next wave of Android features in May as part of I/O. It's the same story for Apple in June at WWDC. Windows? Who knows when you'll hear about what's next. It could be Build, or it might not be. It could be a random event in October, or it might not be. Some years, we don't get a Windows event at all! I truly believe that this lack of an annual, predictable Windows event is doing damage to the platform, as Microsoft doesn't have a chance to set the narrative for what's next over the coming year. An event would allow Microsoft a moment in the year to talk to its userbase about its plans for the next 12 months. It can highlight new features that are coming, and directly address criticisms and complaints. Above all else, it generates hype around Windows. Having an expected month of the year where we know Microsoft is going to talk about what's next for Windows is an easy way to keep people talking. Currently, it feels like Microsoft is ashamed of Windows. It doesn't want to talk about Windows unless it absolutely has to, and that really sucks. Be proud, bring back annual Windows events, and maybe people will start being excited about the platform again. windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…

You know where I am going with it ;).

Remember this? This is the Windows Developer PC sent to attendants of Build 2011... Well the retail equalvalent of it, Samsung Slate 7 XE700T1A.

@zeealeid Xbox Full Screen Experience, without the Xbox App.

@driver1998 what’s this

FSE as a make shift Tablet Mode, not that unusable as you might think.

@srvzox No, the repo is archived now. Also quite a few widgets does not work right in here. But who is counting... This is just a fun experiment. 😂

@driver1998 Good luck with their winui 3 adapative card implementation tho...Is that even maintained now? Last I checked there was a PR which passes std::string around by value🥲

This is why I choose WinUI 3, so that I can just borrow Dev Home's Widget Host ;).
