      UWP is a fully open ecosystem, available to every developer, and can be supported by any store. Broad range of tools http://bit.ly/1QIHTf0

      @TimSweeneyEpic "planned openness"... UWP is already open and i have a hard time you don't know that. Are you just trolling? (uwp dev btw)

      @aL3891 How do you post an installable UWP app download on the web, as with a win32 .exe or Mac .dmg?

      @TimSweeneyEpic as im sure you know, uwps are published to appx packages that can then be bootstrapped by an exe, just like msis/setup.exes

      @aL3891 Requiring a win32 exe to install a UWP app creates the risk of win32 deprecation forcing the apps into the Windows Store.

          @TimSweeneyEpic @aL3891 How would you do Win32 deprecation *without* the support of Google, Apple, Adobe, IBM, most businesses, US gov etc?

          @jackschofield @aL3891 Microsoft already shipped a PC Windows SKU that disallowed win32 apps other than Office: the original Surface RT.

          @TimSweeneyEpic windows it self is built on exe files. That is not a reasonable risk. You are making an argument in bad faith imo

          @aL3891 I look at how intentionally difficult Windows 10 makes switching to Chrome, and I am sincerely worried about them burying win32.

          @TimSweeneyEpic @aL3891 And being able to deploy an app package without the Store and without sideloading is now possible. Or soon.

          @aL3891 This is why I feel Microsoft needs to make a clear commitment to UWP openness. Feels like they're keeping their options open.

          @TimSweeneyEpic imo they already have at last years build (f.e. http://ow.ly/Z5iSn ), but sure they could and should reiterate on that.

          @TimSweeneyEpic @aL3891 Microsoft is still releasing new Win32 apps and telling devs & enterprise it's more powerful than UWP, won't kill it

          @bjorndori @aL3891 But they don't all win32 apps in the Windows Store. Why? Step 1, force consumer software into UWP? What is step 2?
