An old technical limitation prevented the #MicrosoftStore from displaying more than 2,000 reviews per product in the past, this is something we had to fix and we are now very glad to announce that this limitation is finally gone!

I can't help but think about the fact that even 15 years later, IM apps still can't interop together..even though it's a very basic thing to do… How can we even imagine that these same companies will want to build VR environments able to interop together? #Metaverse

Is this a 🦙 dream? #UWP #WindowsDev look how simple adding shadows in #XAML will be in the upcoming 7.1 version of the #WindowsCommunityToolkit! Thanks to

and the power of #Win2D! 🤯

Shows an example of an attached property which can add a Shadow to any FrameworkElement leveraging Win2D. It can be created as a resource and used on multiple elements as well. We also plan to investigate a Composition only version, but that would need a target to cast the shadow on to.
