Yes

@axelriet @danliu Yeah, they acquired it in 2018

@LegacyXP_2001 @danliu OMG seriously?

nobody is asking the important question about github: what if MICROSOFT built github??

I don’t think the Windows run box should be user friendly tbh. Normies are already getting one-shotted by malicious websites that tell them to run a command that just installs malware. The design should imply “this box should be rarely used and by nerds only”.

Microsoft is finally turning off the MSN feed and ads in Windows 11 Widgets by default The update disables “open on hover” by default, ensuring the Widgets panel appears only after intentional interaction. Additionally, taskbar badging and dynamic alert notifications will be limited, while the initial Widgets view will prioritize core widgets such as weather and calendar instead of the MSN news feed. These changes reflect Microsoft’s broader effort to make Windows 11 a calmer and less intrusive operating system, addressing long-standing criticism over excessive alerts and promotional content. While you could previously disable these features manually, the new defaults align with your preferences more effectively.

Microsoft confirms Windows Run dialog is getting a modern look on Windows 11! - Modern design: A refreshed look that matches Fluent Design and Windows 11, with dark mode support. - Faster than before: Perf was top-of-mind when rewriting Run, and with a **94ms median time-to-show time it’s faster than ever before. - Quick user directory access: You can now type ~\ to jump to your user directory, then keep navigating just like you would from the command line. The modern Run dialog is slowly rolling out in current Insider builds of Windows as an opt-in feature, ensuring we are collecting your feedback. To enable the new Run dialog, you’ll need to: - Be on Windows Insider Experimental Channel. - Enable to Settings -> System -> Advanced and toggle on the new experience with the “Run Dialog” option at the top of the screen.

ON THIS DAY: UWP! On this day nine years ago, we covered Microsoft’s push to reposition UWP and modernize Windows app development. It was a moment filled with big ideas and a lot of optimism about what a unified app model could become. Looking back, it is a reminder of how much the Windows ecosystem has changed and how many of those early ambitions shaped the platform we use today.
