@TimSweeneyEpic as im sure you know, uwps are published to appx packages that can then be bootstrapped by an exe, just like msis/setup.exes1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@jackschofield@aL3891 Microsoft already shipped a PC Windows SKU that disallowed win32 apps other than Office: the original Surface RT.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@TimSweeneyEpic@aL3891 Yes, because it ran on an ARM chip. And look how well it sold ;-) I take it you have no sensible arguments, then?1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@jackschofield@aL3891 Just this: Presuming Microsoft won't do it engenders adoption of Windows Store, which enables them to do it.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

@jackschofield@aL3891 I'm not against UWP or Store, but believe Microsoft needs to state their commitments on openness very clearly.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@TimSweeneyEpic@aL3891 Which they do, all the time. (They're also open-sourcing loads of stuff.) Spreading FUD really doesn't help....3 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

@jackschofield@aL3891 Their own technical docs and spokesman contradict that though, e.g. last paragraph http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/mar/01/microsoft-to-unify-pc-and-xbox-one-platforms-ending-fixed-console-hardware ….3 replies 1 retweet 1 like
@jackschofield I mean UWP openness, not win32 deprecation. In retrospect I realize you were referring to win32 above re litigation.

@TimSweeneyEpic UWP is an *option*. Win32 isn't going away anytime soon. Brand new Office 16 uses it, not to mention the whole Azure cloud.0 replies 0 retweets 0 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
